It's a Wonderful Life Information
It’s a Wonderful Life directed by Robert Michael Conrad.
Based on the popular movie that included
Jimmie Stewart, It's a Wonderful Life (1946) is the story of
George Bailey, who has so many problems he is thinking about ending it all -
and it's Christmas ! As the angels discuss George, we see his life in
flashback. As George is about to jump from a bridge, he ends up rescuing his
guardian angel, Clarence. Clarence then shows George what his town would
have looked like if it hadn't been for all his good deeds over the years.
George Bailey spends his entire life giving up his big dreams for the good
of his town, Bedford Falls, as we see in flashback. But in the present, on
Christmas Eve, he is broken and suicidal over the misplacing of an $8000
loan and the machinations of the evil millionaire, Mr. Potter. His guardian
angel, Clarence, falls to Earth, literally, and shows him how his town,
family, and friends would turn out if he had never been born.
On Christmas eve, all of the citizens of the small town of Bedford Falls
pray to the heavens to help George Bailey. It's then decided that Clarence,
an angel who hasn't earned his wings, to help George. Before he does, he
should know who George Bailey. George Bailey grew up in Bedford Falls, which
is a small town, he dreams of somebody leaving it and making his mark on the
world. His family's business is all what stands between the good citizens
and Mr. Potter, a rich miser who takes sick pleasure in taking from
everybody, without even caring how it affects them. George was all set to
leave when his father died and George had to take care of the business.
George would forever be stymied with his plans to leave and when he thinks
that he is nothing but a failure, he decides to kill himself and that's when
Clarence comes in and tries to convince him that he has made something with
his life and that he had a "Wonderful Life".
