The whole production crew probably was on acid

I like it, though. It's got great costumes, some nice songs and a great 70s feel.

I mean it's depressing sure, but only in the ways that How the Grinch Stole Christmas and A Christmas Carol are. The resolution is a happy one.
Nope. I love that movie. They don't make actors such as Jimmy Stewart any longer. I spend many a blue moons watching Turner Classic and I watch this movie and still enjoy it every year without fail. Miracle on 34th Street and Holiday Inn are both great movies also.

Nah, I'm with you. I respect it's classic status but I can go without watching it. Anytime I watch an old film I wonder how realistic the acting is... Like if I went back in time, would everyone be acting like Jimmy Stewart?

In such a world I'd be the one jumping off the bridge.

The musical is most famous for this song here :



You can even watch it in theatres on stage here as it's still very much alive and appreciated, but I sometimes wonder if anyone else out there have ever heard of it.
I'll watch any musical with Frank Zappa in it .

Haha, yeah .. they do look alike



My wife, who loves Frank Zappa, also thinks Titi Suru (the wolf) is rather sexy. It sorta makes sense, but at the same time it doesn't!
