Frank Capra's wonderful film stars Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey, a good man who has spent a lifetime giving up his dreams in order to save his father's firm, the Bailey Savings and Loan. When a guardian angel named Clarence finds a despondent George poised to jump off a bridge, he shows George what life would've been like if he had never been born. Its a Wonderful Life was nominated for five Oscars, and the film was placed number one on the list of the most inspirational American films of all time.
