lovely scenery but you know if you get edmund gwenn and youre go to get whimsy and lot of it . ( he do and after all and play kris kringle in the original miracle on 34th street . ) john forsythe basically get lose among the rest of the cast who be all strong and that include the beaver himself and jerry mathers . a at least someone else mention and it do remind me very much of arsenic and old lace which have a strong story and and in the film and cary grant . it interest that and at one point and edmund mention that he might have elderberry wine before he be go over to mildred n and this be the drink that be use for poison in the other story . i find it contrive but fairly entertaining and mildly funny . worth a view but do not go out of your way . positive .
