Will watch it tomorrow. Gene Lockhart is a wonderful Bob Cratchit. He was the judge in the film Miracle on 34th Street,in the film's climactic scene when all the letters to Santa are dumped on his desk. Also, the father of June Lockhart.
June: He replaced Lee Cobb as Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman in 1949. He was brilliant in that. Apparently, Arthur Miller wanted my father to play Willy in the initial production, but Elia Kazan wanted Lee Cobb. Cobb was superb too, but when he had a heart attack and had to leave the company, Miller said to Kazan, "Now can I have my Gene Lockhart?" That's a true story, not apocryphal.
Instead of the Feast of the Seven Fishes, mine is only three: Bay Scallops, Shrimp and Calamari.
Wrapping all done, gift bags make it easier.
