Ben, listening to this episode of Revisionist History was absolutely delightful. My dad taped the made-for-TV remake, I would guess, very close to the year it was released. I do not remember a Christmas season when I have not watched this film. Watching it is a tradition for me and my sisters, and it's not truly Christmas for us until we've seen Kris Kristofferson declare with a mouthful of toothpaste, "I heard a woman scream." I thoroughly enjoyed learning so many new bits of information about this film. Thanks for delving into it! (I stumbled across the original MUCH later, and I agree, it's a superior film in every respect. But gosh darnit, the 1992 version will nostagically always be my favourite Christmas movie.)

"I heard a woman scream" is definitely a top five moment. It is seared into my memory. Thank you for writing! I feel the same as you about the movie.
