Capra's celebration of the power of community and defiant optimism is orchestrated with consummate mastery, perfectly augmenting big time laughs, touching sentiment and exuberant charm with imagination and beautifully rendered tone.

En smuk film, som forbliver aktuel

...en film som man tveklöst ska se om man söker den julkänsla som jag söker, för det finns det gott om. Den är enkel och trevlig att se, samtidigt som man får en ordentlig tankeställare mot slutet på filmen.
