        Some will think it corny. I suppose it is. I loved the three bachelors, and the show features some great singing. As a believer, I liked the message because I pretty much agree with it. Whatever faults this movie may have, its heart is absolutely in the right place. I recommend it, but you might want to read a synopsis to see if this is your cup of tea.

        It sometimes happens in film that how the thing gets done and comes together is better than the planned intent. Herein is a case for the opposite. It goes all over the map thematically when it intends to be the sort of pre-WW11 Christmas tale Hollywood churned out quite regularly, losing focus, and your interest, when holding it was the aim. Fortunately it is staffed by a cadre of seasoned professional character actors who share the lead (and the rationale to see this) who do not lose focus and carry the piece home. Chief amongst them: the ever radiant Maria Oupenskaya as the female glue in a household of grumpy, dissenting old men. Yes, you'll groan at some of the obvious manipulations thrown at you, but the craft of these vets maintaining a lesser product is still worthwhile.

        For a film about pureness of heart the film has a lot of dark edges. Enjoyable performances from three very good character actors, Harry Carey, C. Aubrey Smith and Charles Winninger.

        I thought this was a really good movie. It's sweet and shows how you can come back after losing your way.
