It’s a Wonderful Life [U]

Friday 13 December 2019 – Oakland Village, Swadlincote

Featuring James Stewart and Donna Reed

A dark, bittersweet post-war tale of a savings-and-loan manager who struggles against a greedy banker and his own self-doubting nature in a small town. Earnest do-gooder George Bailey (James Stewart) recognises his life as wonderful and truly rich, even in its humdrum and bleak nature, only after suffering many hardships, mishaps and fateful trials (including compromised dreams of youth to leave the town and seek fame and fortune, other sacrifices, dismay, losses and the threat of financial ruin, and suicide). He is given encouragement by a whimsical, endearing, trainee-angel named Clarence (Henry Travers). George starts to realize how many lives he has changed and impacted, and how they would be different if he was never there.
