Subject: Yeah, the hospital scene was great! Uncle Chris was Oskar Homolka (I did some research) whom Dad knew but I didn't know him, and as we found out, the shy aunt's suitor was Edgar Bergen. What really surprised me, was that the doctor was played by Rudy Vallee! Wish I'd known that, at the time. He had that small, funny, getting angry part, with Oskar. By the way, the eldest daughter's name was Katrin...as you know, played by Barbara Bel Geddes. Quite a big-name cast for back then.

Author: Judith...didn't know they made a Christmas in CT remake, I'll look it up!

I really liked the scene in the hospital when Irene Dunne sneaked in to visit her daughter. The uncle was very amusing, quite loud and sometimes obnoxious, but somehow lovable! Do you know if the modern version is anything like the original?" on 17:45:10 01/03/08 Thu [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: On a more cynical note...one critic feels that mama was a martyr, making her kids feel badly that she never got her warm winter coat. I THINK the meaning was supposed to be, though, that she tried to protect them, by not letting them know that she had no (much talked about) bank account...so they wouldn't know how poor they really were. Must get on with my day now, ya think??
