It has some interesting theological points. <br /><br />Born Yesterday is one of those movies I watch every time it is on tv. Judy Holliday was wonderful. I remember the first time my daughter watched the movie. She started out thinking that Judy Holliday's character was actually stupid. Then she saw the character grow. <br /><br />You can't go wrong with Betty Boop. <br /><br />I have to dig out "Number Please" and watch it again. Harold Lloyd's short movies usually zip right along. <br /><br />I always wondered how they made Christmas Crackers. <br /><br />I hope you have a happy and prosperous 2011.Joe Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165780971886135575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-7071339276889762592010-12-24T13:50:03.693-05:002010-12-24T13:50:03.693-05:00Yeah, there's something weirdly Christmas-y ab...Yeah, there's something weirdly Christmas-y about this film in particular - I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's all the Catholicism, or like you said the fact that it opened on Christmas (I was too young to see it at the time, but I very much remember when it came out in theaters).<br /><br />By the way, submissions are still open for the Blog 10 round-up!
