About the Film

George Bailey (James Stewart) sets aside his dreams of world travel to run his father’s small community bank and protect the people of Bedford Falls from greedy businessman Mr. Potter (Lionel Barrymore). When a costly mistake pushes George to the brink of despair, a visit from a kindly angel (Henry Travers) will show George how the life of one good man can change the world forever.
