It’s a Wonderful Life is returning to UK cinemas, for the 80th anniversary.

Paramount Pictures’ classic 1946 Christmas film “It’s a Wonderful Life”; directed by Frank Capra, is getting a 4K remastered cinema release for the first time. It is in black and white, not the colourized version.

The Christmas film stars James Stewart as George Bailey and Donna Reed as Mary Bailey. George has other dreams than to follow in the family banking business, however there’s setback after setback, leaving him on a brink of existential crisis… to the point where an angel named Clarence (Henry Travers) intervenes and puts him on a path where he never existed.

This film will only be in cinemas for two weeks from December 11.
