Hi Mark,

My favorites are:
1. The Inspector General
2. The Court Jester
3. A Song is Born
4. The Kid from Brooklin
5. Wonderman

But they all get kind of muddled there at the end, I also love On the
Double, Up in Arms, and On the Riviera.

There are DVDs available in the US. I've got 4 (White Christmas, the
one you mentioned, The Court Jester, Hans Christian Anderson, and The
Secret Live of Walter Mitty), and I looked on Amazon and found listings
for a few others...The Inspector General, Pinocchio, and Wonderman. :)
