I imagine it will make her very happy to have the video but the bell as well reminding her that Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings.

Capra's triumph is to acknowledge the difficulties and disappointments of life, while affirming--in the teary-eyed final reel--his cherished values of friendship and individual achievement.

Starring the unforgettable James Stewart as George Bailey, the man who receives the greatest Christmas gift of all.

It's a Wonderful Life was not a big hit on its initial release, and it won no Oscars (Capra and Stewart were nominated); but it continues to weave a special magic. George Bailey lives a simple but unsatisfying life in his hometown dreaming of adventures that he’ll never experience. To top things off, the print is close to near perfect condition, noticeably cleaner than the original inferior DVD presentation, with far less visible dust, dirt and nicks on the print. The added sharpness and broader contrast in the Black-and-White version really helps when reading fine details on faces and absorbing wide shots and the contrast is just totally perfect, with very good detailing and texture. IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE’ was voted the Number One inspirational film of all time, in the AFI’s “100 Years .BONUS: This Blu-ray contains both the Colourized Version of the Film and the Original Black-and-White Version of the Film. Ninety minutes in, when the back story catches up with the 'present', the Angels release us from the flashback and the rest of the tale plays out in real time. Using the device of an Angel observing from heaven makes George's biography watchable because the viewer is told with Clarence that every detail is important. James Stewart cited George bailey as being his favourite character and when Frank Capra inherited the project, he wrote it for James Stewart.
