      Katharine Hepburn's final film appearance.
    • Goofs
      In the restaurant when Buddy and his father are eating oyster's, the Tabasco bottle on the table is not vintage from the 1930s. It is the present-day bottle with a red plastic top. That would not have been a 30s bottle.
    • Quotes

      Dixon Hobbs: Thought I might find you here.

      Dad: Well, if isn't the very sturdy Dixon Hobbs. What brings you here?

      Dixon Hobbs: My sister's money. Don't tell me you haven't heard I've been looking for you.

      Dad: Mm, word is you have some concerns about an investment she's made.

      Dixon Hobbs: My only concern is how fast you're going to give her that money back.

      Dad: Are you telling me that you question her ability to make her own decisions?

      Dixon Hobbs: [grabs Dad by shirt collar] Let's just say, I don't think it's a sound business investment.

      Dad: I didn't realize the depth of your concern.

    X-mas story without cliches
    I mostly hate x-mas season on TV, 'cause there are thousands of ridiculous movies about it. However, this is an exception: it's intelligently made, with good performances (Katharine Hepburn, want more?) and, although it handles feelings and sensibility (just like a Christmas story), it gets away from common places and cliches. Don't miss it next x-mas!
