Didn't he steal money? Maybe I'm misremembering things. I get the B&W Bluray.
From IMDb:
George Bailey spends his entire life giving up his big dreams for the good of his town, Bedford Falls, as we see in flashback. But in the present, on Christmas Eve, he is broken and suicidal over the misplacing of an $8000 loan and the machinations of the evil millionaire, Mr. Potter. His guardian angel, Clarence, falls to Earth, literally, and shows him how his town, family, and friends would turn out if he had never been born. George meant so much to so many people; should he really throw it all away? |
Uncle Billy, and absent minded employee of the Building and Loan, mislays the money (which is found and kept by the dastardly Mr Potter) on the same day an inspector comes to audit/check the books of the bank. This is what sends George into his spiral.
