The Christmas Carp
by Riita Törnqvist
“The days before Christmas, Grandpa
buys a Christmas tree, and Thomas buys a carp (a traditional Czechoslovakian
Christmas dinner main course) which he name Peppo. Peppo swims in
the bathtub while Thomas feeds him cookies and pretends he is a whale.
But as Christmas dinner draws near, Thomas grows very sad. He wants
to Keep Peppo for a pet.”

"Great
1942 Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby production with charisma, charm,
and chemistry…this is my very favorite all-time Christmas movie.
Astaire and Crosby are at the height of their abilities and the script
is campy but funny and the sets and scenes are beautifully filmed
in black and white. The only questionable scene is a black face number
that was so vaudevillian and indicative of the time, but that aside
Irving Berlin’s score includes the introduction of White Christmas
and Astaire’s 'drunk dance' and 'firecracker dance' are some
of his best screen work by far."
