Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life stars Jimmy Stewart as a businessman who is contemplating suicide until his guardian angel, Clarence, shows him what the world would have been like without him in it.

Although it is now considered one of the most beloved films of all time, it’s a Wonderful Life lost money in its original run, when it was perceived as a fairly downbeat view of small-town life. It was not until it became a Christmastime TV perennial in the 1970s that it gained the mantle of a holiday classic.
