The irrepressible myopic Magoo “stars“ in this animated musical, with words and music by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill. This was the first-ever animated holiday TV show, and it still holds up. Splendidly. God bless everyone, especially Jim Backus (who voices Magoo and Scrooge) and Jack Cassidy who voices Bob Cratchit.

Cary Grant is an angel sent down by the prayers of a new bishop, who is so busy trying to raising money that he’s not aware his marriage is crumbling. Grant, meet Loretta Young. Life and love lessons of the five-star kind. Stay away from the fetid Denzel Washington and Whitney Houston, remade in 1996 as The Preacher‘s Wife.

It’s a plot that has been remade several times, but this is the original: Shop employee James Stewart yearns for a sweetheart. Co-worker Margaret Sullavan also wants a sweetie; soon they are corresponding and falling in love with their respective pen pals---each other!

Perfect ‘40s nostalgia---a glimpse of a child's Christmas, when everything was horribly important, nothing made sense and everything went wrong. Can Christmas dinner in a Chinese restaurant be that bad?

Nothing says Christmas like Irving Berlin, Rosemary Clooney, Danny Kaye, Vera-Ellen and Bing Crosby. A grand, old fashioned, lump-in-your-throat holiday movie. Sure, it's mawkish and sentimental, just like the holiday.
