Frank Capra doesn't fail to disappoint in yet another of his warm and fuzzy films. I saw this for the first time when I was a little girl and ever since then I have been looking for it to reappear on the shelves. It truly is a film that takes you through every emotion, I laughed, I cried and I even shouted things at the TV.

Definitely worth a watch, and you'll probably be playing it every single holiday season, just to get you in the spirit!
