“Things get into the holiday mood this week at The Brattle Theatre with a four-day run of Frank Capra’s timeless ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ (1946), in which an idealist (Jimmy Stewart) who has given much to his community winds up in need himself. The alternative telling of what might be without Stewart’s everyman starts to ring the bell for its wings on Friday.” – Tom Meek, Cambridge Day
IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE screens Fri, Dec 15 – Mon, Dec 18.
