i guess all country have a few strange tradition and this film be connect to one of ours in sweden . every new year´s day the last twenty year public service television have showned this movie in the afternoon and the perfect time for drag yourself up and buy a pizza and maybe forget your extreme hangover for a while . everyone know the film inside out but be still watch it year after year while fill in on every funny line ( like when de boeuf shout striiip him . ) and laugh once again over great character like athelstone and tuck and get annoy over how ivanhoe can choose the boring lady rowena before foxy olivia hussey . i can not really say anymore if it´s a good movie or not but i guess it´s perfect for a day after .
