This was my favorite Christmas movie as a child and I am so happy to be watching it again. Thanks a million. I can't wait to show it to my kids when they're a little older.

This was my favorite Christmas movie growing up. I remember watching it when it debuted on tv with my family when I was 6 years old. They used to show it every year around the holidays after that. I always looked forward to it. Thank you for posting as I’m now 45 & watching it with my 6 year old son ❤

Those "New Yorkers" characters would have actually been out-of-towners. Native NYers would not have been hired as news reporters when this film was made, nor for any other good position. They could, however, drive cabs. There probably isn't anyone who speaks with a NY accent living and working in NY anymore.

Those end credits felt more Stephen J. Cannell-like to me. As a result, the score should've been done by Mike Post.
