Frank Capra’s heartwarming masterpiece has been embraced as a cherished holiday tradition by families around the world! George Bailey 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.

When a costly mistake pushes George to the brink of despair, a visit from a kindly angel will show George how the life of one good man can change the world forever.
