A good but slightly ineffectual man tries to off himself after an error that really wasn’t his fault. In Christmas Carol fashion, his crusty-but-lovable guardian angel shows up to give him a tour of the world without his presence, and it isn’t a pretty place. Moral courage, small-town American life, civic cooperation, and family love are glorified; corporate greed and self-involvement are vilified; at the climax, a blanket of snow like spun sugar makes everything pure and clean like redemption itself. It was nominated for five Oscars without winning any, but the film has since been recognised by the American Film Institute as one of the 100 best American films ever made, and placed number one on their list of the most inspirational American films of all time. 7195621AA TE AWAMUTU COURIER, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2009 23
