🎄🎄 Voluptuarian’s 12 Days of Christmas Countdown - Day 10🎄🎄
For a change of pace, something on the more modern side: Fitzwilly, one of Dick Van Dyke's lesser known comedies, which wraps up on the night of Christmas Eve and with his 100th birthday a few days ago, felt timely! When their generous employer turned out to have been left penniless after her father's death, her devoted domestic staff vowed to keep her in the style to which she was accustomed by turning to crime. Years later they've become expert thieves and their ringleader, savvy Butler "Fitzwilly" is now in it for the love of the game as much as for love of his old guardian. But an unexpected romance convinces him its time to hang up his gloves— after one last job of course, planned around the frenzied consumerist chaos of mid-60s holiday shopping season. It's a comedy, it's a romance, it's a heist movie, and its full of great vintage fashion and snappy dialogue.
