Thanks for the review Josh. The blu ray of this utterly charming film wouldn't have arrived in time for Christmas so i watched the DVD. Looking forward to getting this in the next few weeks, glad it's a good one.

Thanks, Josh! Great review of a wonderful film! I actually postponed by annual Christmas viewing of this one so I could watch it when the blu-ray was released. It looks great on this disc!

I'll watch anything with the great Ann Harding!
Time to rediscover her, guys!

I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive. The USPS picked it up January 1st in Los Angeles and took *two weeks* to get it to Philadelphia, PA, where it currently sits, overshooting the Memphis distribution center that serves my town by ~1000 miles! Basically it's gone completely cross country for a Mid-South address! I figure it'll take them another week or two to get it back to Memphis.

I had one a while back that made it to New Jersey, but then was delivered to the Post Office in the next town south of me. They apparently couldn't figure out what to do with it, so they sent it back to New Jersey, where it was held for a few more days before they finally sent it to my Post Office. I checked the label when it arrived and it had my correct address and Zip Code. More recently I received a Christmas care that took two weeks to get here from Nevada.
