When the traditional studios were struggling in the 1960s, their entire business model became, "Make the same movie that was successful last year." After the triumphs of My Fair Lady and The Sound of Music, a number of studio budget busting musical turkeys were released. Even if some did make money, the profit margin was so low that it didn't help.

“Laugh hard. Run fast. Be kind.”

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade complete with a visit by Kris Kringle

Unbeknownst to most parade watchers, Edmund Gwenn played Santa Claus in the actual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade held on November 28, 1946. He fulfilled the duties of most parade Santas, including addressing the crowd from Macy's marquee after it was over. He was introduced to the crowd by Philip Tonge, who played Mr. Shellhammer, and later unveiled the mechanical Christmas display windows to the accompaniment of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite." This gesture symbolized the opening of the Christmas season there.

"The film received a "B" rating (morally objectionable in part) from the highly influential Legion of Decency because Maureen O'Hara played a divorcee."

Re-makes and colorized versions need not apply !

A non actor child in the lead and a musical score composed for and played entirely on a single harmonica.

Goshes, Mr. Dealy Buddy.

Leonard Maltin gave it a Bomb rating and opined: Watch this and you will know why David Janssen became a fugitive.

And This, Too, Shall Pass Away

Fun read !
