This is one of the all-time champion examples of Christmas schmaltz. In fact, the only real competition in the schmaltzy holiday musical realm is another Irving Berlin masterpiece, Holiday Inn. Of course, the older film is in black and white rather than glorious Technicolor. If it wasn’t such a holiday standby, I suppose I’d regard it as little more than a second-rate musical. But if you’re in the mood for some festive December corn, this is one of Hollywood’s finest examples. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
