during preparation for thanksgiving a few year back and my dad notice that no one have make any candied yam . fine and we buy a can and warm them up and set them out . nobody touch them and pa include . why and we ask and do you insist on the yam . simple tradition . with thanksgiving you need candied yam . and with new year in central europe and you need dinner for one . that people here love it and be clear . why they love it be an absolute mystery . i honestly believe that it be enjoy primarily because it be tradition it be beloved and so people love it . be marry to a german and i have now see this short at least five time while i have laugh during it . of course and i can pretend to like yam and too . the film rely entirely on the clownish antic of the protagonist and freddie frinton and a he steadily drink himself into oblivion . purely pie in the mush humor here and with gag that be old when the film be make forty year ago . neither be frinton a genius of physical comedy and his timing truly hit and miss in the skit . if you be from central europe and you have already see this film . otherwise and spare yourself the bother .
