Likewise, the film's musical score doesn't have much in the way of Christmas music, either. So there are some Christmas decorations and a few mentions of Christmas within the roughly 47% of the movie actual set during Christmas Eve, but otherwise there's very little actually about Christmas at all in It's A Wonderful Life. Then, the last 58 minutes are set on Christmas Eve but largely omit any significant Christmas imagery or storytelling, instead focusing on George glimpsing how a world without him is worse for those who knew him and loved him. After that, the story proceeds for an hour and twelve minutes without Christmas, as it shows the background of George's life and how his financial crisis eventually emerged. Christmas exists in the story as a setting for the framing device, starting with a brief four-minute opening credits and setup on Christmas Eve.
