Omschrijving

It's a Wonderful Life is the ultimate Christmas movie, as it is unabashedly sentimental, warmly human, and features a happy ending. James Stewart plays the suicidal George Bailey; guardian angel Clarence brings the unhappy man to a moment of reflection. At the time, Stewart was the most popular Hollywood star.
In the dark days leading up to Christmas, this heartwarming classic from Hollywood's golden years showcases when studios pulled out all the stops to provide moviegoers with a feel-good experience. George Bailey is the good-hearted man trying to keep a struggling bank afloat in small-town USA but faces financial ruin due to unfortunate machinations by his business partner. While everyone around him prepares for a happy and wonderful Christmas, Bailey is on the verge of taking his own life. Only the intervention of the guardian angel Clarence, who has descended to Earth, can prevent the worst from happening. He shows Bailey how life would have been without his compassionate presence.
This new 4K restoration comes as the original nitrate negative was in danger of deterioration, prompting Paramount to initiate the 4K restoration to save the negative of this beloved classic—now sharper and more radiant than ever on the big screen.
