This is the heart-warming saga of George Bailey, the Everyman from the small town of Bedford Falls,
whose dreams of escape and adventure have been repeatedly quashed by notions of family obligation
and civic duty. It is Christmas Eve, and George’s guardian angel, Clarence, descends to save him from
despair, and to remind him (by showing him what the world would be like had he never been born) that his
has been after all, a wonderful life.
