Awesome lines and Stewart's performance

This is an old film. From the perspective of the subject matter, it is a love sketch. The director is a good writer of lines. Many lines are witty and humorous, and there is no nonsense. Speaking from the story, it is a bit cliché, but this is the grandfather of romance films. Also, everyone in the story has a sense of politeness and gentleness that we lack now, they're not pretentious, they're sincere and friendly. I like the male lead in it the most. The performance is delicate and charming, but the female lead is a bit ugly.

Christmas Eve in Budapest, the whole movie is just a grocery store, with all kinds of clerks, only Jimmy Stewart shines the most... What a warm movie, I also like the remake version of "Electronic Love Letter".

When Stewart was young, he was tall, thin, and a little hunchbacked, but he had a handsome face and looked silly and well-behaved. He was so patient!
