8:00 p.m. Eastern-- "It Happened on Fifth Avenue" Victor Moore, Charles Ruggles, Don DeFore, Gale Storm, Ann Harding
Hey, is this Don DeFore Day? (Such a cutie.) Another of the charming, heartwarming Christmas movies we've been racking up this season! This one has both comedy and pathos, with homeless men rather innocently moving into a swank New York address while the wealthy owners winter elsewhere. Little do the temporary residents know who lives among them...
This is partly so appealing b/c of the seasoned performers with which it is graced, including my vaudeville heartthrob, delightful oldie-and-goodie Victor Moore. The plot is a wee bit needlessly complicated, methinks, but it's so easy to get swept up in the romance and general goodwill.

I always enjoy a Don DeFore movie, and this is a good one for every Christmas season.
Speaking of Ann Harding, I noticed this movie with Ann Harding from the same year (1947) listed on the upcoming schedule of the Movies! channel-- December 22 at 8am Eastern. This is one old Christmas movie that I had never heard of, so I intend to record.

Thanks for the reminder @Oznell
I have been binge watching the Kirk Douglas films all day. There is a lip-sync delay on my TV with all the films. I wonder if it's my TV. Has anyone else had this issue today?

@lil spot, I just checked TCM, and I don't think I'm seeing a delay-- I started to think for a minute maybe the syncronization was "off", but now it doesn't seem that way to me.
How annoying that you're getting that! Hope it clears up soon. I hate that-- always reminds me of bad dubbing in European films, ha...

That movie "Christmas Eve" looks good, @Highlands72. Interesting cast too. I like George Raft.

@Oznell thank you for checking your station. For me, it's only off sync on TCM. Dang. I'm hoping it will fix itself before "It happened on Fifth Avenue". I adore that film and all the actors.

@Oznell It Happened on 5th Ave' is my absolute fave Christmas movie! I watch it no less than 5 times during each holiday season. I have been known to keep replaying it while I'm doing housework...LOL
We have the DVD

@Oznell and others who love 'It Happened on 5th Ave'...
Just some tidbits of info for those who don't know...
Gale Storm isn't really singing. She is lip-syncing to another singer. The director of the movie preferred the other singer's voice for the movie. I was shocked when I 1st learned of that...
And the 'King's Men' who sing the opening song in the movie are pretty impossible to get any info about online...phooey!
I love their harmony/voices
