'Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings'

Frank Capra's Dickensian classic is an undisputed Christmas masterpiece. James Stewart is George Bailey, a good man who has descended into despair because he considers himself cheated out of the life he could have had. 

Clarence (Henry Travers) intervenes in his hour of need to show George how loved he is by everyone in his small community of Bedford Falls and what life would look like without him.

A timeless story of redemption and hope that is an absolute treasure, returning to our screens in a beautiful digital restoration.
