Season's Greetings

Seasons greetings is, like my other favorite Christmas movie, The Holly and the Ivy, the best kind of adult entertainment for the holiday season, but I would welcome the opportunity to watch it any time and have been on the lookout for a DVD of either or both titles for many years. Ayckborne's dialogue for Seasons Greetings is witty, his characters are intelligent, clever, down to earth, eccentric, adorable, crotchety, - a full range of entertaining types. The situations are very funny, and finally quite sad and touching, but not the least bit sentimental the way most movies from Hollywood are when they have anything to do with Christmas. The acting is brilliant and believable in the best British tradition. Donald Kane
