I usually don't like it when people say things like that. And by no means am I dissing movies nowadays. On the opposite, you just have to find the right ones. And it is not that there weren't bad movies at any point of time. Of course the more movies that are produced and made, the more you will find not to your taste or liking.
But back to this and the incredible cast! Yes I knew Humphrey Bogart, Peter Ustinov or even Basil Rathbone, but who is Alda Rey? Well that was what i was asking myself. If you know him, good for you and shame on me. But I have to admit, he really is amazing here and holds more than his own besides the other actors and stars obviously. The comedy and the slapstick of the movie work its charm. The diaog is amazing and it is almost as if this has not aged at all.
And it also plays during christmas and I do wonder why this is not in discussion of one of the best Christmas movies out there. It should be! And that is from a person (me) who is certain that Die hard is the best Christmas movie ... ever! Sit back and relax this comedy that can get dark at times but has its heart at the right place (no pun intended)
