It is the alternative version of It's A Wonderful Life. Appreciated by people who liked Louis Armstrong's It's A Wonderful World.
IAWL came out in 1946, Scrooge (A Christmas Carol) came out in 1951. Same message, same ideas (spirits revealing how life would have been for the protagonists) but vastly different stories, both great films unmissable every 24/12 (ideally with Long Clawson Stilton and some tawny Port)
They seriously better not **** this up (I'm looking at you Ridley Scott who ****ed up Alien Covenant and I'm worried that he's past it), coming your way soon.
