James Stewart and Donna Reed reunite for this radio performance of arguably the most revered Christmas movie of all time despite its dark premise of a man who considers himself a failure and wants to commit suicide on Christmas Eve. Yet, the film’s director Frank Capra managed to give his George Bailey a real empathetic mission and James Stewart’s crushing performance made George a most tortured hero. In order to take advantage of the stars and the film recently being in theatres, they decided to perform this radio adaptation on March 10, 1947.
