See It On 16mm returns for the holiday season to unspool It’s a Wonderful Life, Frank Capra’s timeless Christmas classic!
The film follows George Bailey, played by James Stewart, a selfless man from the small town of Bedford Falls who sacrifices his personal dreams to support his family and community. When a financial crisis pushes him to the brink of despair, George contemplates ending his life, believing he has failed everyone. Enter Clarence, a bumbling yet endearing guardian angel, who shows George an alternate reality where he never existed, revealing how deeply he has touched the lives of others.
It’s a Wonderful Life has become a beloved holiday classic that has somehow far surpassed sterling reputation. It now stands as an enduring symbol of optimism and humanity annually for those of us looking for a little bit of Christmas melancholy.
