It's a Wonderful Life [1946] [DVD]

Product Information

Dialogue is very clear at all times, and thankfully fixes the audio defects that hampered the original inferior DVD version, which caused the sound to occasionally take on a horrible annoying muffled quality. Now you can watch the holiday classic like never before, newly remastered from the original fi lm negatives and more vibrant than ever with stunning clarity! Simple thoughts that were the inspiration for one of the richest, most uplifting, most beloved American films ever made.

While filming the scene where George prays in the bar, James Stewart has said that he was overcome, that he began to sob during filming of the scene. After George raves at Potter that, “You can’t say that about my father,” George is shown out of the room by his father, then George is shown standing outside the office door. A resentment factor can kick in when an audience has waited patiently for one story to shape up, and the movie suddenly takes a brand-new tangent inconsistent with what has gone before.The fellow angel from Heaven, named Clarence, who was assigned to watch out for him, granted that wish. Dolby Digital Stereo audio presentation, and is of course a vast improvement over the inferior DVD release.
