"this one should be fairly easy to find. i own 2 copies of it (one was a gift from the 'rents). i think i found my copy at Target or Best Buy. it is part of a double feature with 'Holiday Inn' with bing and fred astaire (this film was the song debut for 'white christmas). i think i've seen it at another big-box store's movie area as well. if any of you want my vhs copy it's yours. let me know.
