    All you need to know about me is once during a makeout in college I stopped and said “in ways, you are far superior to my cocker spaniel” because of this movie

    It wouldn't be Christmas without Vera-Ellen's eye acting.

It's a nice, if undemanding, Yuletide treat.

Everyone works hard at the business of singing, dancing and cracking jokes, but the stuff that they work with is minor.
