It's glorious to live

Frank Capra's 'all time favourite' and a true Christmas gem with James Stewart in the role of kind-hearted family man and savings banker George Bailey. Bailey, from the small town of Bedford Falls, has involuntarily forfeited the savings of his fellow citizens, but one cold Christmas night, when George is on the verge of suicide, an angel shows him what the world would look like without him. It's an even more paltry sight. A heartwarming tale that can be seen again and again — and preferably in the run-up to Christmas. Recommended from the age of 11 (English speaking, without Danish subtitles).
