"You want the moon? Just say the word, and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down"
Christmas Eve, 1946. In Bedford Falls, down-on-his-luck banker George Bailey is worried that life has passed him by and he’s ready to leave it all behind.
But trainee guardian angel Clarence turns up just in time to save George from despair by showing him what life in his beloved town would be like if he had never existed.
This adaptation of the classic film keeps all of the heart and charm of Frank Capra’s much-loved Christmas favourite.
Full of hope, heaven and humanity, this will certainly get you in the festive spirit!
