This 1946 CLASSIC FILM copy write expired and went to the Public Domain library. For years on VHS a very poor copy was available. But the film was sooooo good we endured the poor quality for the "WONDERFUL LIFE's" message was heard loud and clear.

NOW for the FIRST time it has been brought up to the Blu-ray HD (1080p). With the HD Home Theater (BIG SCREEN) w/Dolby Digital sound I', telling you this movie is NOW THE WAY IT WAS MENT TO BE SEEN IN THE MOVIE THEATER in 1946!!! (Better then the original 35mm prints).

BONUS: This Blu-ray (2 disc set) Edition includes 2 HD versions of this MUST HAVE Movie. Disc 1. - The COLORIZED version (my favorite version, especially in HD. The color adds to the grand detail of the clarity ie. Jimmy Stewarts tweed jacket.
On the big Home Theater screen you won't believe how Wonderful the picture is!!!!
And the sound is awesome!!!!

Disc 2 - Is the Original Black & White version. A very good but much darker version which in my opinion mutes the HD details. Still this HD Classic film delivers. All extra features are also on this disc.

NOTE: This Blu-ray edition includes all the extras of the Standard DVD version.

BOTTOMLINE: THIS MOVIE IS A MUST HAVE. BELIEVE ME, YOU and YOUR FAMILY WILL BE TOTALLY DELIGHTED and Pleased to see and hear for the first time what a "WONDERFUL LIFE" this was and is!!!! ENJOY!!!

5/5 Blu-ray version looks great!

The newly-released blu ray version of the film looks wonderful - great contrasts, very clear picture, especially in the B&W version. (The disc comes with both the color and B&W versions). The picture is in its original aspect ratio 1.33:1, so it is shown in pillarbox (black bars on the sides of the display). The true videophiles will appreciate that nothing was cropped from the original image.

1/5 Amazon please stop listing reviews of the DVD on the BluRay page!!! If I wanted a review of the DVD I would go to that page.

5/5 Need a sixth star for this movie;
  by justicescale.org (Colorado)
In my view there are three really great movies:
1) Wonderful Life - especially this newly re-worked version in color
(ohhhhhhh........ Donna Reed as a young girl........ what a dream !!)
(Much like the woman I married :) )
2) Gone With the Wind - Scarlette my love !
.
Life is very hard and painful for a lot of people in the US today
and because the US middle class has been gutted they have no money
to buy the things developing countries make and the crisis
is worse in those countries as a result.
.
However, there is always having faith in God as a choice (yes or no).
It's always a choice......... essentially "to be" or..... "not to be".
These are the same choice.
When we have nothing else but faith which enables the possibility of hope
then we have nothing else and nothing else.
.
It's that simple.
