Christmas Holiday

Of the films of Deanna Durbin, this is not the most tasteful, even if you look hard for the moral thread. However, the scenes from Midnight Mass for Christmas at the very beginning of this clip are worth showing.

Happy Christmas!

Ronni Lane said...: I think you're a bit harsh on DD. Films can't be homeletic forms. There is a morality tale within the movie and religious things are treated respectfully. That is as much as can be expected in my view. A blessed Christmas to all. Thank you for showing the Urbi et Orbi again this year.; 27 December 2011 at 02:57
