CLASSIC Christmas movie It’s A Wonderful Life will be screened at the Picture House in Keighley on Christmas Eve.

The North Street cinema will present its annual screening of Frank Capra’s renowned 1946 film at 5pm.

It’s A Wonderful Life, starring James Stewart, tells of a small-town philanthropist whose loan company has gone bust and who is saved from suicide by an elderly angel.

Stewart wishes he had never been born, but Travers shows him what a hell-hole his home town would have been without him.

The film was nominated for five Oscars.

Picture House proprietor Charles Morris said: “It’s become an annual tradition with us; some people come who have never seen it before, others come time and time again. “Hopefully people will be able to relax and round off their day; it certainly is the film to put you in the mood for Christmas.”
