...more is merrier, then those who liked last year's sugary best seller The Christmas Box are going to have a very merry Christmas indeed. Not only is the tale of a tuxedo retailer who's taught a parenting lesson by his dying landlady available in a fancy gold-boxed edition, but it has also spawned dozens of look-alikes and reprints.

In Meet John Doe, Gary Cooper battles the fascistic schemes of the super-rich Edward Arnold, who is seen in an elegant dining room complete with tuxedo and cigar. In Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Cooper must defend himself against a courtroom full of slickly dressed, high-priced, big-city lawyers. In It's a Wonderful Life, Jimmy Stewart's George Bailey learns that without his good heart and small-town values, the whole town of Bedford...
