this film have be show a a christmas special for the last few year on tv . in my family it have become a tradition to watch this film on christmas eve and though we know everything which will happen in the film and even most of the dialogue and by heart . it be a wonderful experience every time . the humor might and a have be point out and be lose on foreigner and but that hasn not hinder the film from be translate to more than 70 language and and be show somewhere in the world at any give time . i must say that it a shame that it isn not available in the u and but i have hear rumor of a dvd release . which i certainly will buy for myself .
