SUMMARY:It's a Wonderful Life - DVD
DESCRIPTION:This is director Frank Capra's classic bittersweet comedy/drama
  about George Bailey (James Stewart)\, the eternally-in-debt guiding force 
 of a bank in the typical American small town of Bedford Falls. As the film 
 opens\, it's Christmas Eve\, 1946\, and George\, who has long considered hi
 mself a failure\, faces financial ruin and arrest and is seriously contempl
 ating suicide. High above Bedford Falls\, two celestial voices discuss Bail
 ey's dilemma and decide to send down eternally bumbling angel Clarence Oddb
 ody (Henry Travers)\, who after 200 years has yet to earn his wings\, to he
 lp George out. But first\, Clarence is given a crash course on George's lif
 e\, and the multitude of selfless acts he has performed: rescuing his young
 er brother from drowning\, losing the hearing in his left ear in the proces
 s\; enduring a beating rather than allow a grieving druggist (H.B. Warner) 
 to deliver poison by mistake to an ailing child\; foregoing college and a l
 ong-planned trip to Europe to keep the Bailey Building and Loan from lettin
 g its Depression-era customers down\; and\, most important\, preventing tow
 n despot Potter (Lionel Barrymore) from taking over Bedford Mills and reduc
 ing its inhabitants to penury. Along the way\, George has married his child
 hood sweetheart Mary (Donna Reed)\, who has stuck by him through thick and 
 thin. But even the love of Mary and his children are insufficient when Geor
 ge\, faced with an $8000 shortage in his books\, becomes a likely candidate
  for prison thanks to the vengeful Potter. Bitterly\, George declares that 
 he wishes that he had never been born\, and Clarence\, hoping to teach Geor
 ge a lesson\, shows him how different life would have been had he in fact n
 ever been born. After a nightmarish odyssey through a George Bailey-less Be
 dford Falls (now a glorified slum called Potterville)\, wherein none of his
  friends or family recognize him\, George is made to realize how many lives
  he has touched\, and helped\, through his existence\; and\, just as Claren
 ce had planned\, George awakens to the fact that\, despite all its deprivat
 ions\, he has truly had a wonderful life. Capra's first production through 
 his newly-formed Liberty Films\, It's a Wonderful Life lost money in its or
 iginal run\, when it was percieved as a fairly downbeat view of small-town 
 life. Only after it lapsed into the public domain in 1973 and became a Chri
 stmastime TV perennial did it don the mantle of a holiday classic. ~ Hal Er
