The show business legend is that death comes in threes, and today there was the obit in the NY Times for Lois Nettelton. Which prompts the question: what makes a Christmas perennial? Or: why isn't "Period of Adjustment" a Christmas perennial?

I saw "Period of Adjustment," a criminally underrated film (and director George Roy Hill's first) as a kid at Christmastime - at New York's Astor Theater on Broadway, I believe. For me, it will forever be a holiday film. Nettleton was one of our great neglected actresses. Her career should have gone the way of Joanne Woodward. She certainly had the talent.
