It's A Wonderful Life by Lux Radio Theater
It's Christmas Eve! It's A Wonderful Life has been a part of my family's Christmas experience my entire life. Back in 1947, Lux Radio Theater created a radio adaptation of It’s A Wonderful Life. This production stars Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed reprising their iconic roles as George and Mary. Just like the movie, George goes on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery, guided by the bumbling yet endearing angel Clarence, as he learns just how much one life can touch so many others. Filled with warmth, love, and timeless holiday spirit, this broadcast brings the magic of Frank Capra’s film to life in the golden age of radio.
