...narration (I always cry). It's a Wonderful Life is not--to--be missed Capra (if you like Capra). I once saw something called Santa Claus Versus the Martians, which is at least novel.

...bastard origins (or incipient rot) of the ingredients heaped on the platter. The feast, rather than the ordinary run of the mill pigout, required hundreds of these "made" dishes, for which most valued praise the cook could receive was if the satisfied diner could not tell what had gone into the original concoction.

Suprisingly, Kate, who wrote Ronstadt's big hit, "Heart Like a Wheel," didn't write this one; David Nitchern did. And as well composed and well-arranged as this song is (the concluding strings are striking...
