Director: Michael Curtiz (White Christmas, Casablanca)
Stars: Humphrey Bogart, Peter Ustinov, Aldo Ray,
"We came here to rob them, and that's what we're going to do: beat their heads in, gouge their eyes out, cut their throats....... as soon as we wash the dishes."
On Christmas Eve, three escaped convicts (Bogart, Ray, and Ustinov) come upon a store which they intend to rob, but soon find out how much financial trouble the store manager, Felix, is in. And then the store's owner, Cousin Andre, comes for a surprise Christmas visit to take inventory and check Felix's accounts. The convicts take it upon themselves to protect Felix, his wife, and daughter from this horrid cousin. But it turns out they don't have to do much....
This is a black comedy, but SOOOOOOO cute! If you haven't seen it, DO watch it. You are in for a treat. I especially love Peter Ustinov in it. Actually, I really can't pick a favorite!! They each have their moments.
