25 Days of Christmas: 6B/25

It's a wonderful film! I originally saw this at my local independent theater where I got a signed copy of the book "Mission: Jimmy Stewart and the Fight for Europe", which I recommend. There is also a Jimmy Stewart Museum a short drive from me which I have neglected to visit. That will change in 2021. One note: I watched this film in color as opposed to B&W like my original viewing. They are equally interesting ways to watch this film and I actually recommend watching both. Hey, it gives you an excuse to watch the film again!

90/100 (down from five stars). Watched on Prime Video (4K TV; HD).

I demoted it because my ratings are more stringent than they were when I wrote the original review (which had no numbered score). The film is not worse on second viewing, just adjusted for my current review "scale".
