Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life”

What would the Christmas season be without the proverbial film about that holiday? You know the one I am referring to, where we all learn “every time a bell rings, an angel gets it’s wings”. Of course you know the one I am referring to.

It is called “It’s a Wonderful Life”, and over that past years has come to represent, on the whole, the meaning and spirit of the Christmas holidays. People coming together to help a friend, coming home for the holidays, and the comfort of having a warm and safe place to call home. Today’s FamSite is one that celebrates the film, and the persona around it. Here you can find out little known details about it, as well as biographies of the cast and crew. You can check out links to other sites, as well as collectibles. There is even a contest, and you can catch up on reading the Bedford Falls Chronicles.

Enjoy this site. It is a fine tribute to a film that helps us all remember that “no man is a failure, as long as he has friends”. It isn’t on television as much as it used to be (for various reasons), but be sure to watch it when you can. Enjoy your stop here.
