Frank Capra's first post World War II picture was It's a Wonderful Life starring James Stewart and Donna Reed, the tale of a man who is rescued from suicide during the Christmas season by being shown how his life has positively impacted those around him.
While it was nominated for multiple Oscars, it didn’t fare well at the box office. However, after re-airing on television in the 1970's, the American Film Institute named it the eleventh greatest film of all time in 1999.
