It's A Wonderful Life

About this event

Screening as part of the Enzian Holiday Series! 80th Anniversary! In partnership with the City of Winter Park's Winter on the Avenue! This film is a part of our Popcorn Flicks in the Park series, which takes place in Central Park, Winter Park once a month and is FREE and open to the public! These films are presented with open captions. Frank Capra’s paean to small-town values and the ordinary guy who does the right thing is a classic story of redemption and second chances, with James Stewart as a man who’s come to the end of his rope one Christmas Eve and Donna Reed as the high-school sweetheart who became his wife. The supporting cast includes Lionel Barrymore, Beulah Bondi, Ward Bond and Gloria Grahame. IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE was the first release from Liberty Films, the pioneering independent label founded by Capra and fellow producer-directors William Wyler and George Stevens and went on to become not just a perennial holiday favorite, but one of the most beloved of all American movies. After George Bailey (James Stewart) wishes he had never been born, an angel (Henry Travers) is sent to earth to make George’s wish come true. George starts to realize how many lives he has changed and impacted, and how they would be different if he was never there. Preceded by Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983): Mickey, Donald, Goofy and all their pals star in an all-time Christmas classic. Ebenezer Scrooge is far too greedy to understand that Christmas is a time for kindness and generosity, but with the guidance of some newfound friends, Scrooge learns to embrace the spirit of the season.
