This feel good Christmas story has always warmed my heart and thus I watch it yearly when I really need a "pick me up" as I can certainly identify with both characters.
Julie Andrews is just as one would expect her to be, charming and effervescent BUT with a real streak of both professionalism and independence, even in light of the generation she is from. James Garner, it goes without saying is a "maverick" (no pun intended) and is a sorta "take no prisoners" kinda guy and thus the uniting of them both in a love story seems right; appropriate if not totally understandable. The "daughters" were interesting but their characters were not well developed in my opinion - too much whining. While the plot 'thins' in the storm due to the convenience of an empty cabin? I thought it lent itself to telling a beginning and end to this charming story. I'll keep watching it yearly as long as they broadcast it for that 'shot' of feel good holiday spirit!
