Any Preston Sturges fans out there? Remember Christmas In July? Anyway, Christmas In July, written and directed by Preston Sturges is about this poor sap who is always entering contests, hoping to win enough money so he can marry his girl. After he enters a slogan contest for a coffee company, his fellow employees, who think he's kind of a dolt, send him a telegram telling him he's won the grand prize. The poor guy proposes, get's a promotion at work, and then goes out and buys presents for everyone, including those who sent the phony telegram. Eventually, the truth comes out and he has to live with the consequences of his generosity, some good, some bad.

P.S., is that Dick Van Patten sneaking in on the left?
