I decided to watch this during a moment of self loathing. You see, I remember that pompous gasbag Sir Ralph Richardson from Long Day's Journey into Night. It was excruciating.
His part is much smaller in this film and his speeches are mercifully shorter.
This film is about a family and it's problems. It isn't a feel good Christmas film. It is frank. Well, as frank as you can get for the 1950s.
The great Margaret Leighton gives the best performance in this film. She made the entire film for me.
The film does touch a bit on faith.
The most fun are the two old aunts. They are delightful characters and provide great comic relief.
