Nanoplex takes its Xmas holiday with this seasonal treat.

Earnest do-gooder George Bailey (James Stewart) recognises his life as wonderful and truly rich as the eternally-in-debt guiding force of a bank in the typical American small town of Bedford Falls. As the film opens, it's Christmas Eve, 1946, and George faces financial ruin, arrest and is seriously contemplating suicide. High above Bedford Falls, two celestial voices discuss Bailey's dilemma and decide to send down eternally bumbling angel Clarence Oddbody (Henry Travers), who after 200 years has yet to earn his wings, to help George out. Clarence takes George back through his life to show him what good he has done.
