Description
Half a dozen relatives and friends are celebrating Christmas with Neville and Belinda. Petty, and not so petty, squabbles break out. Christmas presents are rifled, mechanical toys are set off. Hilarious highlights include a chaotically incompetent puppet show and a midnight love scene that goes wrong. A final climax leads to what momentarily appears to be a tragedy as Clive, mistaken for a looter, is shot by the trigger-happy Harvey.
Description
Half a dozen friends and relatives are celebrating Christmas with Neville and Belinda. Various children are also there: though unseen, their presence is always felt and indeed seems duplicated in the adults. Petty, and not so petty, squabbles break out and the Christmas presents are rifled. A final climax, resulting from the arrival of Clive, leads to what appears to be tragedy as he is shot by the trigger-happy Harvey as a looter. Hilarious highlights include a chaotically incompetent puppet show and a midnight love scene that ends by setting up a fearful din among several mechanical Christmas presents.
