I watch this movie every year on Christmas Eve as if it were the first time.
This year, I think the tradition finally sunk in. Ahh, maturity of the children. They intently watched the movie without complaining about it being in black and white. I don't think they will poke fun at mom anymore for watching old movies . They FINALLY grasped the meaning of the story. I heard a sniffle or two.
I just read an article that said this movie was actually a flop when it was released in 1946 (1948?). They said the advent of t.v. brought it back into public view when they wanted to start showing holiday films. Isn't that something? You think about it though, it deals with some pretty "heavy" subject matter.

Great Movie!
Another is 'Family Man'.
Which is sort of the same theme.
Similar for sure.

My favorite part is at the end when even the bank auditors throw in some cash and join the singing! :)
