Longfellow Deeds (Gary Cooper) es un hombre sencillo que vive feliz en un pequeño pueblo llamado Mandrake Falls, en el que todo el mundo se conoce y donde la vida cotidiana es de lo más tranquila. Longfellow, soltero, poeta y músico aficionado, cuya distracción favorita es deslizarse por las barandillas de las escaleras, de un día para otro se convierte en el único heredero de un excéntrico magnate del que hereda 20 millones de dólares. Para hacerse cargo de la fortuna se desplaza a la ciudad en donde conoce a una mujer desvalida que dice llamarse Louise (Jean Arthur), que en realidad es una periodista de éxito que se cuela en su vida para realizar una serie de artículos que lo pongan en evidencia. Durante su estancia en la ciudad Longfellow tendrá que luchar continuamente para mantener unas convicciones personales que se alejan mucho de la moral que se destila en la gran ciudad, en la que nadie se preocupa por su vecino y únicamente se busca el lucro personal.

I like Adam Sandler and I also liked the remake of this film, but Frank Capra simply has his own magic and created such amazing films that it's hard to match. "It's a Wonderful Life" is a great comedy that doesn't lack serious moments, and everything is perfectly balanced here, making it work excellently as a whole. Comedy and drama go hand in hand.

A typical fairytale premise adapted to the needs and space-time of a classic Hollywood movie whose sincere character is one of the most beautiful in the history of cinema, despite and perhaps even thanks to the horror of the economic crisis of the time. Beautifully executed, with even better performances and an immensely appealing timeless story about how money is everything but nothing at the same time. Brilliant in its funny and intelligent dialogues, in its sensitively hinted at romantic line and in its honest portrayal of the clash of two worlds: unquenchable greed with natural kindness and solidarity, which specially deserves all the compliments that an ordinary viewer endowed with at least a modicum of social empathy and cinematic love can give. 100%
