...Christmas in particular. But let's level with each other: I don't think it's a very big deal. I mean, for one thing, it's probably eighty degrees in Tahiti at Christmas time, and for another, they're probably not even used to celebrating it. So my guess is that people kind of play Christmas by ear in Tahiti; if you want to give somebody a present, if you're American or something, it's okay, but on the other hand nobody's going to get pissed off or anything if you don't remember them...

In the movie, Spencer Tracy plays the grand old mayor of a grand old New England city (guess which one) fighting for his political life. A must...
