Would you listen to It's a Wonderful Life (Dramatized) again? Why?

I will listen to this again. This abridged dramatisation is joyful. James Stewarts voice as George Bailey and Henry Travers voice as Clarence Odbody completely bring the experience of It's a Wonderful Life back to life with real delight.

Which character – as performed by James Stewart and Frank Capra – was your favourite?

George Bailey has to be my favourite. The way Jimmy Stewart uses THAT voice to perform is just one of the joys of this.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

"George Bailey I'll love you until the day I die"

Any additional comments?

What an absolute pleasure to find these short dramatisations, I will be purchasing more (if not them all in good time).... they made me feel like I was there, watching and listening, back in that lovely age.

*****Inspiring delight. A complete pleasure*******
