“It’s a Wonderful Life” – 1946. Written by Philip Van Doren Stern & Frances Goodrich, amongst others. Directed by Frank Capra.
Who Boo’ed? Eh? Who was it? SHUT UP! This is one of the all time greats when it comes to Christmas films. You might not have seen it for a while but don’t let that fact that it’s rolled out every Christmas like the Great Escape put you off. For a film that deals with the emotional breakdown of a suicidal man who feels he’s wasted his life, it’s not preachy or patronizing and still leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy at the end. A true classic, they don’t make them like this anymore.
