It's a Wonderful Life

December 16

6:30 P.M.

It's a wonderful film. Frank Capra's inverted take on A Christmas Carol stars Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey, a good man who's spent a lifetime giving up on his dreams in order to keep life in his small town humming. 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 had he never been born. This classic is a holiday favorite.

No one is born to be a failure. No one is poor who has friends. Simple thoughts that were an inspiration for one of the richest, most uplifting, most beloved American films ever made. Frank Capra's classic tale of George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart) and his Christmas Eve visit with a guardian angel named Clarence (Henry Travers) was nominated for five Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. After 60 years it remains as powerful and moving as the day it was made.
