It Happened One Christmas

It Happened One Christmas is a 1977 made-for-TV movie. It is a reworking of the classic film "It's A Wonderful Life". The film is notable for the role reversals of the two main characters. Marlo Thomas stars as Mary Bailey, and in contrast to the original film, she is the main character rather than husband George Hatch, played here by Wayne Rogers. Cloris Leachman plays bumbling angel Clara Oddbody. In the original film, the angel was a male named Clarence.
