George Bailey has spent his entire life giving to the people of Bedford Falls. All that prevents rich skinflint Mr. Potter from taking over the entire town is George's modest building and loan company. But on Christmas Eve the business's $8,000 is lost and George's troubles begin. Wikipedia ↗

It's a Wonderful Life is a 1946 American Christmas fantasy drama directed by Frank Capra. James Stewart stars as George Bailey, a compassionate, self-sacrificing small-town banker in Bedford Falls who has spent his entire life putting others' needs before his own — giving up his college education, his world-travel dreams, and his ambitions to keep his family's building and loan association alive and protect his community from the predatory banker Henry Potter, played by Lionel Barrymore. When a financial crisis on Christmas Eve drives George to the brink of suicide, his guardian angel Clarence, played by Henry Travers, shows him what Bedford Falls would have become without him — a dark, corrupt hellhole called Pottersville where everyone George helped has been ruined.

It's a Wonderful Life was a commercial disappointment upon release but became one of the most beloved films in American history through decades of television broadcasts, particularly during the Christmas season. James Stewart considered George Bailey his favorite role. The film was added to the National Film Registry in 1990 and is consistently ranked among the greatest American films ever made.
