I start my Christmas movie season with this dark classic every year. Amazing performances for all the characters will just keep you wondering what will come out of their mouths next on first viewing. So believable you'll be glad you're not a part of this family. Glynis Johns is especially convincing as the controlling matriarch of the family that has always kept her sons wives in their place. Until tonight that is. "Slipper socks .. Medium !". Dennis Leary is perfect as the crook who stayed for dinner. This Christmas movie isn't some sweet tale of a perfect Christmas Eve by any means, it will reel you in to watch it every holiday season.
