Summary
The first holiday episode ever recorded on The Cine-Files was It's a Wonderful Life but that is not what we are re-releasing today because there was absolutely no way we could do this incredible film justice in just one hour. So, instead, we are very pleased to re-release, our expanded remake.
If you haven't seen this incredible film you can buy or stream it right here.
