Here’s another movie that provides good entertainment around Christmas. And a movie that shows how hard it can be if you start with a little lie and fake to be America’s Best Cook although you can’t cook. Lucky if you know a Felix who hails from Budapest, Hungary, and who has a restaurant on 325 46th Street New York.

And this Felix provides you with new recipes to write your columns. Although I have my doubts that Felix is a really decent cook. He just throws some Paprika into an Irish Stew and proclaims it’s goulash now.

By the way, parts of this movie’s set are the same used for a famous movie with with a leopard in it. And guess who played the dog in the movie with the leopard?!

This one’s very easy. Firstly because your host Mr. Asta plays a very important role in this movie and secondly because you’ll never forget the bunch of drunken people singing a horrible version of Oh Christmas Tree.

And then there’s the drunken man that pops all balloons with his cigar. Actually I’ve never seen a Christmas tree decorated with balloons before.

If you wake up with a headache because you had six or more Martinis then make sure to wear an ice bag on your head. It’s the latest fashion this Christmas eve.

And finally here are Mr. Asta’s Christmas presents. Such a lovely fire hydrant!
So I’m sure you’ve already guessed my favourite movie. If not, here’s a short piece of the movie’s dialogue:

“I’ll give you your Christmas present now if you’ll give me mine.”
“At breakfast.”
“But it’s Christmas now.”
“Breakfast.”
“What are you going to give me? I hope I don’t like it.”
“You’ll have to keep them anyway. The man at the Aquarium said that he wouldn’t take them back.”

See, that’s why I rather have a fire hydrant then some slimy fish.

And there’s also a great line for all Christmas haters in there:

“If anyone says Merry Christmas once more, I’ll kill ‘em.”

Anyway, Merry Christmas to the readers of Mr. Asta’s Movie Blog!
