1. Curse you, Comcast!

For putting TCM on an extra-price tier with a bunch of sports channels in which I have no interest. Otherwise, I'd be mainlining Christmas movies with eggnog and sugar cookies!

2. The Man Who Came To Dinner is so sharp and funny.

3. Just want to say thank you to those who post on the classic film group. I really

appreciate the listings and commentary. I have my recorder set and plan to binge watch classic films during my Christmas Vacation. With COVID raging, it is a peaceful feeling just staying home and enjoying these vintage works.

4. You are very welcome.

Watch in comfort and joy!

5. 12-18: The Silent Partner

Elliot Gould, Susannah York and Christopher Plummer (and introducing John Candy!)

A great cat-and-mouse thriller from the late 1970s. On my top 20 list of all-time films. Christmas cheer this ain’t (but it sure is a good yarn).
