A Scooge-like Christmas Fable. One of the best!

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2017)

Mr. Potter, a bitter, miserly man thinks of nothing but accumulating wealth and power. In the process, he almost destroys the life of an idealistic young man and his family. Harry Bailey (James Stewart) is rescued by his guardian angel on Christmas Eve, and stopped from committing suicide. His guardian angel 2nd class (Clarence) shows Harry what everyone's life would have been like if Harry was never born at all. It really "leaves a significant hole" in the lives of others. He is "shown the way back" and realizes that he really did have (and has) a wonderful life after all. An all-star cast featuring Donna Reed as his wife, Mary. Featuring Karolyn Grimes as his youngest daughter "Zu-Zu". Often shown colorized. Produced and Directed by Frank Capra. A good movie to watch if you are having a "blue" Christmas. How many good deeds in your own rather-boring life have positively affected your own family and friends? Think about it and "count your blessings"!
