Synopsis

George Bailey has spent his entire life giving to the people of Bedford Falls. All that prevents rich skinflint Mr. Potter from taking over the entire town is George's modest building and loan company. But on Christmas Eve the business's $8,000 is lost and George's troubles begin.

The synopsis for It's a Wonderful Life has my attention. Is it best to go in knowing very little?

Ronan, would be nice to come back to this thread once a few more people have given it a go.

It's a Wonderful Life is one I am weighing up. This is the sort of choice I might miss without someone putting it forward.

Eimear, same question here. A quick note on the pace would help me make up my mind.

For anyone considering It's a Wonderful Life: Leaving a boost while I decide. The hard bit is narrowing the list down to just one.
