A nice family film. I understand why it is a classic.

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE
Another classic film I dad never seen before. I liked it.
The most I had seen of this movie before was in Gremlins, when Billy's mother was watching it in the kitchen.
The movie is about a man who is completely selfless. He thinks about everyone else and other thing before himself... he gives up so much for other people. But when things start to go wrong for him, he feels desperate and tries to kill himself... until he is saved by an angel. The angel then teaches him what things would have been like if he had never been born.
It is a lovely film. It has romance, comedy and drama in it. It really is a nice film to watch at Christmas time.
The movie stars James Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore & Thomas Mitchell. The acting was over the top a little bit, but back in the day when this was made, all acting was over the top in one way or another.
I will give this film 7 out of 10.
It is a nice family film that will have all the old women crying.
