Elizabeth Montgomery....... what can I say about this truly great actress? I dont think there was an episode of "Bewitched" where she was not wonderful and she brought Samantha Stevens to life like no one else could possibly. It is because of her that "Bewitched" lives on and is as popular today as it was when first aired. She combines beauty, brains, and total warmth in the character.
In "Humbug" Elizabeth has some great moments and the one in particular that never fails to move me is when, after having helped Santa with his present deliveries, she and Charles Lane are looking through the window of his butler Hawkin's home .While watching Hawkins playing with his young son. Lane exclaims "why does he look so happy doesn't he know he's poor? to which Elizabeth replies "Mr Mortimer, you're rich but are you happy? Very moving stuff at Christmas time and what modern comedy series could put across wonderful sentiment like that?
Truly a wonderful Christmas treat that I recommend to you
