I agree – I loved Frawley's stuff in this movie. My wife and I also loved Mrs. Shellhammer's "Hello, hellooo, we would love to have Santa Claus come stay with us. It would be simply charming." Whenever something is not exactly what we want or wish to do, but have to do it anyway – we say it will be "simply charming."

I have to agree with you about Edmund Gween being great and underrated. A great story (well set-up anyway and directing) but he helped make "Them" a truly great movie. I always laugh when he shouts "Shoot the antenne" in the correct plural of course.

"Faith is believing even when common sense tells you not to." One of my favorite quotes. You can't out do the original…..I miss seeing Maureen O'Hara in films. She was incredible.

Wonderful. I believe Edmund Gwenn really is Santa Claus and is still living somewhere in Long Island. I am struck by how modern it's themes were – how a number of the characters bemoaned the commercialism of Christmas.

I watched it with my 13 year old last weekend who'd never seen a black and white film the whole way through – he told me the following day it was one his favourite movies. Surprised the movie is not higher in the list.

Wow, James Stewart as Norman Bates. Never would have pictured him in that role, but he would have rocked it. However, I'm glad he didn't do it because he would have become less enjoyable to watch in other things; he would have scared me too much. 8>0
