Am stillen Weihnachtsabend in der Kleinstadt Bedford Falls ist George Bailey drauf und dran, Selbstmord zu verüben. George ist Inhaber einer kleinen, familiär geführten Bank, die vielen weniger gut verdienenden Familien ein eigenes Häuschen finanziert. Durch ein Missgeschick ging eine große Summe verloren und George hat nun eine Klage wegen Veruntreuung am Hals. Kläger ist der wohlhabende Mr. Potter dem Georges Menschenfreundlichkeit schon lange ein Dorn im Auge war. Als dieser sich nun völlig verzweifelt von einer Brücke in den eiskalten Fluß stürzen will, hält ihn in letzter Sekunde ein netter, älterer Herr davon ab. Clarence ist im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes ein „rettender Engel“, der George an diesem Weihnachtsabend wieder neuen Lebensmut gibt.

Italiano
È la viglia di Natale e George Bailey è solo, su un ponte, con cattive intenzioni. Lui che ha rinunciato a tutto pur di mandare avanti l'attività del padre, morto prematuramente, ora si trova di fronte allo spettro del fallimento. Sarebbe stato meglio non esser mai nati, pensa lui. A quel punto scende giù dal cielo un angelo a mostrargli cosa sarebbe successo se lui non fosse mai nato.

Português
Com tanto problemas a atormentá-lo, George Bailey está decidido em acabar com tudo de vez, embora seja véspera Natal. Enquanto os Anjos conversam sobre George, a sua vida passa em retrospectiva. Mas quando George está prestes a saltar de uma ponte, é salvo por Clarence, o seu Anjo da Guarda, que lhe mostra como seria a cidade se ele não tivesse feito tantas coisas boas. Será que Clarence consegue convencer George a regressar à sua família e esquecer o suicídio?

Français
Bedford Falls, petite ville de l'État de New York, la veille de Noël. De chaque foyer s'élève une prière. Les paroles murmurées avec ferveur concernent toutes le même homme – George Bailey –, qu'elles proviennent de la bouche de son épouse, de ses enfants, de ses amis et collègues… et de manière générale de tous ceux qui tiennent à lui. Les prières vont être exaucées et Clarence, un ange sans ailes est envoyé au secours de George afin de gagner ses ailes. Avec lui, nous revivons les années écoulées dans la vie de George .Ayant renoncé à son rêve d'enfant de devenir explorateur, pour reprendre la banque de son père, il a toujours consacré son énergie et son argent à l'amélioration des conditions de vie des habitants de la ville, en luttant contre le désir de puissance d'un homme d'affaires sans scrupules.

Así, nuestro amigo descubrirá que... ¡La vida es realmente un tesoro maravilloso que debemos disfrutar!

Pусский
Джордж Бейли, владелец кредитной компании в выдуманном американском городке Бедфорд Фоллс, честный, отзывчивый, любящий муж и отец, подавлен свалившимися на него невзгодами и подумывает о самоубийстве. Очевидно, что человек, отказывающийся от самого большого дара Бога - жизни - нуждается в помощи ангела-хранителя. И Небеса отправляют ему на выручку Кларенса, единственного свободного на тот момент Ангела Второго Класса, приятного, доброго, но неопытного, еще даже не заслужившего крылья. Если он сделает свою работу хорошо и сможет отговорить Джорджа от смертного греха, он получит крылья. А времени у него почти не осталось... Кларенс находит единственно правильное решение - показать Джорджу мир, в котором тот не существует.

Український
Справжнє сімейне кіно, майстерна екранізація твору Філіпа Стерна "Найбільший подарунок". Головний герой фільму Джордж Бейлі настільки засмучений незліченними проблемами та несподіваним боргом, що думає про самогубство напередодні Різдва. Врятувати його може тільки диво, і воно приходить у вигляді ангела Кларенса, якому конче необхідні крила. Кларенс веде Джорджа, упевненого, що світ без нього нічого б не втратив, стежками його життя, демонструючи наскільки його існування важливе чи не для кожного мешканця містечка Бедфорд Фолз. "Це дивовижне життя" — фільм про надію, яка ніколи не повинна згасати, про добро і любов, про Різдво, яке здатне змінити все!

Terwijl iedereen om hem heen zich opmaakt voor een happy & wonderful Xmas staat Bailey op het punt de hand aan zichzelf te slaan. Slechts de tussenkomst van de naar de aarde afgedaalde beschermengel Clarence kan het ergste verhinderen. Hij laat zien hoe het leven eruit zou hebben gezien zonder Bailey's menslievende aanwezigheid.

Český
Na počátku příběhu slyšíme modlitby za muže jménem George Bailey (James Stewart), který chce v předvečer Štědrého dne z vlastní vůle ukončit život. Protože se za něj modlí mnoho lidí, nebeské síly je vyslyší a chystají se na Zem vyslat svého zástupce Clarence, který se, aby mohl pomoci, musí seznámit s celým Georgeovým životem. Společně s ním divák sleduje nejdůležitější okamžiky v životě dobráckého chlapce/muže, jehož dospělý život nenaplňovalo téměř nic jiného, než pomáhání svým blízkým a obyvatelům malého městečka Bedford Falls. Hlavní zápornou postavou je potom zahořklý, pouze po majetku toužící podnikatel Henry F. Potter (Lionel Barrymore). Georgeovu životní lásku Mary Hatch výborně ztvárnila krásná Donna Reed. Život je krásný je odpovědí režiséra Franka Capry na noirové snímky ze čtyřicátých let. Ve své (poválečné) době nebyl film přijat příliš dobře, americkou vánoční klasikou se stal až v průběhu let. Nutno říct, že zcela zaslouženě.

ελληνικά
Ο Τζώρτζ Μπέιλι έχει αφιερώσει όλη του τη ζωή και έχει θυσιάσει τα όνειρά του προς το όφελος της μικρής πόλης στην οποία ζει και των κατοίκων της. Όταν όμως τα πράγματα γι' αυτόν πάνε άσχημα, αποφασίζει να βάλει τέλος στη ζωή του. Ένας όμως άγγελος τον αποτρέπει και του δείχνει την τύχη της πόλης του και των κατοίκων της αν αυτός δεν είχε ποτέ γεννηθεί.

Dansk
George Bailey er en tilsyneladende lykkelig familiefar, der inderst inde føler, at hans liv er forfejlet. Ingen af hans drømme er blevet realiseret, og den årelange kamp mod byens hensynsløse rigmand ser ud til at slutte med et totalt nederlag. George overvejer at begå selvmord, men hans skytsengel vil gøre alt for at overbevise ham om, at hans liv ikke er så mislykket endda - at det er herligt at leve.

Magyar
Karácsony este George Bailey lába alól kicsúszik a talaj. Az általa vezetett kisvárosi takarékpénztár a csőd szélén áll, ő pedig úgy érzi, értelmetlen az élete, és az öngyilkosság az egyetlen kiút. Az égben felfigyelnek a kétségbeesett emberre, és egy szárnyaira vágyó angyal kapja a "nagyfőnöktől" azt a nemes feladatot, hogy hozza rendbe a dolgot. Clarence, a mennybéli küldött sajátos módszert alkalmaz: megmutatja, milyen sivár hellyé lett volna a város Bailey áldozatos tevékenysége nélkül. A tanulság egyértelmű: az élet szép, és élni igenis érdemes!

Română
George Bailey și-a petrecut întreaga viață dând de la el oamenilor din Bedford Falls. El a dorit mereu să călătorească, dar niciodată nu a avut ocazia pentru a-l putea împiedica pe bogătașul domn Potter să preia întregul oraș. Tot ceea ce îl împiedică să facă acest lucru este compania modestă de construire și împrumut a lui George, fondată de tatăl său generos. Dar, în ajunul Crăciunului, unchiul lui George, Billy, pierde suma de 8.000 de dolari, în timp ce intenționează să o depună la bancă. Potter găsește banii rătăciți, îl ascunde de Billy, iar necazurile lui George încep.

Джордж е честен, отзивчив, любящ съпруг и баща, собственик на неголяма компания, пожертвал своята голяма мечта заради образованието на брат си. Един от Ангелите му показва мрачните страни на града в който живее.

svenska
George Bailey står på en bro på julafton och överväger att ta sitt liv. En ängel vid namn Clarence har fått i uppdrag att hjälpa George och därmed bli en fullfjädrad ängel. Clarence får en genomgång av Georges liv där det framgår hur mycket han har kämpat för sin hemstad och för sina vänner. När de så möts och George önskar att han aldrig blivit född tar Clarence med George tillbaka till stan för att visa hur det skulle vara om han inte funnits. När George till slut återvänder till den riktiga världen med insikten att det trots allt är värt att leva strömmar det in folk för att hjälpa honom och Clarence blir en riktig ängel.

„Nuostabus gyvenimas“ pasakoja istoriją apie Džordžą Beilį (akt. Jamesas Stewartas), kuris Kalėdų išvakarėse atsiduria gyvenimo aklavietėje. Sunkiausiu jam momentu nusileidžia angelas, bandantis įtikinti Džordžą, jog dar ne viskas prarasta. Jis sugeba parodyti, kas atsitiks, jeigu Džordžas pasitrauks iš gyvenimo. Žiūrovams suteikiama galimybė stebėti pagrindinio herojaus gyvenimą jau žinant, kaip jis ketina pasielgti. Džordžo Beilio istorija įrodo, kad nėra nieko vertingesnio už gyvenimą, o kiekvieno priimami sprendimai gali turėti įtakos kitų žmonių likimams. F. Caprai pavyko sukurti ypatingai įsimintinus charakterius ir epizodus, tapusius neatsiejama kino istorijos dalimi.

Les paroles murmurées avec ferveur concernent toutes le même homme – George Bailey –, qu'elles proviennent de la bouche de son épouse, de ses enfants, de ses amis et collègues… et de manière générale de tous ceux qui tiennent à lui. Les prières vont être exaucées et Clarence, un ange sans ailes est envoyé au secours de George afin de gagner ses ailes. Avec lui, nous revivons les années écoulées dans la vie de George .Ayant renoncé à son rêve d'enfant de devenir explorateur, pour reprendre la banque de son père, il a toujours consacré son énergie et son argent à l'amélioration des conditions de vie des habitants de la ville, en luttant contre le désir de puissance d'un homme d'affaires sans scrupules.

Džordžs Beilijs visu savu apzinīgo mūžu ir pavadījis, palīdzot līdzcilvēkiem, un ignorējis pats savus sapņus un laimi. Rezultātā Džordžs ir nelaimīgs, depresīvs un izmisis un pašā Ziemassvētku priekšvakarā plāno izdarīt pašnāvību. Tomēr pēdējā brīdī uzrodas viņa sargeņģelis Klarenss, kurš uzskatāmi parāda Džordžam to, kā būtu bijis, ja viņš nekad nebūtu nācis šai pasaulē…

Català
Bons sentiments i inoblidables interpretacions per a la història d'un home que contempla com hagués estat la vida dels que l'envolten si ell no hagués existit, i d'un entranyable àngel que vol aconseguir les seves ales.

State of the UnionComedy1948

Academy Award-winning screen icons Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn shine in a classic film about marriage, politics and the pursuit of the American dream. When idealistic businessman Grant Matthews (Tracy) is chosen to run for the Presidency, he is caught between the ruthless ambition of a string-pulling newspaper owner and the integrity of his devoted wife (Hepburn).

Masterfully directed by three-time Academy Award winner Frank Capra (It's a Wonderful Life, It Happened One Night), State of the Union is a timeless crowd pleaser with a stellar supporting cast including Angela Lansbury, Van Johnson and Adolphe Menjou.

Riding High summary, synopsis, reviews
Riding HighClassics1943

Broadway Bill? "He's the mostest horse we ever did have!" says his handler. He's a lot of movie, too. So much that in 1950, Frank Capra teamed with stars Bing Crosby and Coleen Gray for Riding High, a lively remake of Capra's 1934 gem, Broadway Bill. Der Bingle's fondness for the racetrack is evident throughout this story of a man who abandons the mansion for the stable. And the songs attest to the film's unbridled spirit. There's no need for an address, three square meals a day or lick when you can stay "Someplace On Anywhere Road," bake a "Sunshine Cake" or bet the nest egg on what "The Horse Told Me." Many of the 1934 stars reprise their roles here, and Oliver Hardy (minus sidekick Stan Laurel) has a memorable bit as a railbird desperate for a winner.

Lost Horizon (1937) summary, synopsis, reviews
Lost Horizon (1937)Action & Adventure1937

Ronald Colman and Jane Wyatt star in this lavishly-produced classic about the enchanted paradise of Shangri-La where time stands still. After nearly 50 years, Frank Capra's timeless masterpiece, "Lost Horizon (1937)" (based on the best-selling novel by James Hilton) was restored to its original length of 132 minutes in 1986. The film, which was widely circulated among the armed services during World War II, was cut 22 minutes after its initial release in 1937 to reflect the wartime perception of the Chinese and to tone down the film's pacifism. Film historian Robert Gitt conducted nearly 13 years of detective work tracking down the lost footage. With extraordinary art direction, the set of Shangri-La is considered the largest ever built in Hollywood, winning designer Stephan Goosson an Academy Award® (Lost Horizon won two 1937 Academy Awards®: Art Direction-Set Design and Film Editing). Furthermore, the budget for the picture was staggering and cost almost four times the amount of any Columbia film at the time; an equivalent cost of approximately $30-$40 million today. A box office blockbuster, "Lost Horizon (1937)" is considered an exception among Capra's work for its deviation from his usual upbeat "American" theme and continues to capture the imagination of the viewing public today.
