Classic tale examining the compromises of life as experienced by James Stewart’s smalltown everyman, on the brink of despair when an angel named Clarence turns up to reveal what might have been.
Capra's best-loved film is also, ironically, one of his darkest, an unusually tough look at the compromises of life as experienced by James Stewart's smalltown everyman. As ideals, ambitions and dreams are slowly but surely dashed, pragmatism yields to regret and despair - until an angel named Clarence turns up to reveal what might have been... A classic, and deservedly so.
