...Filene's window-Santas have to worry about working full-time. Every 45 minutes they are spelled by one of two cute little sprigs, both called Miss Holly. Four more Miss Hollys aid Santa inside the store where he carries through his policy of person-to-person diplomacy. On each of the visitors, Miss Holly pins a rectangular piece of cardboard: "Santa's Merit Badge...
...screenplay for Brink of Life, is as clear and grave as a Mass. The actors, as always finely disciplined by Bergman, behave as formally as acolytes. The photography is as beautiful as it generally is in Bergman's pictures, but if anything more plain-there are very few cute shots to catch the eye.

His entire viewpoint resembles, in fact, that of a slightly eccentric but avid supporter of Adlai Stevenson. And it need hardly be remarked be that views of this sort have not been...
...trying, as well, to be another ratings-wealthy Bachelor Father. Like all situation comedies, this one sets its sights low and aims for modest objectives, reaching them with a professionalism as smooth as glass, blown to enclose a vacuum. In the first episode, both MacMurray and his devastatingly cute ten-year-old son were chastely chased by women of appropriate ages...
