a Wonderful Life," starring James Stewart, Donna Reed

Bailey (Stewart) from childhood to maturity in the town of

discouraged Bailey wants to throw his life away. Fortunately,
Clarence (Henry Travers), a second-class angel, is sent to
show him the value of life. After Clarence gives Bailey a
view of Bedford Falls without him, Bailey realizes how precious
his life is and gets a second chance. He comes to learn that
Clarence was right when he said, "No man is a failure
who has friends." Airs Thursday, December 24 from 8-11
