It's A Wonderful Life Collector's Edition (tbc)

TOTAL FILM RATING Submit a review

BY: Total Film Jan 1st 2004 FILED UNDER: DVD

No Oscars. No box office. No doubt this is the greatest Christmas movie ever made, with James Stewart extraordinary in his first post-World War Two role. The star was scared he'd lost "it" after years away fighting, but his talent remains as heart-catching as ever as his smalltown boy battles Mr Potter, ignoring his own ambitions. Visually daring, eye-duct draining: a picture of love and sacrifice.

DVD Extras:

"Collector's Edition" in name only, this re-release adds nothing to previous versions, with an intro from Frank Capra Jnr and a cosy Making Of.
