Great Comedy!, 18 May 2002
Author: John P. Jarvis (jhnjrv@aol.com) from Northridge, California

I first saw "Miracle" during WW2, sitting on an emptied bomb crate in a field where Special Services had set up a screen. We soldiers howled with laughter. Since then I have seen it a few more times and I enjoy it more than ever.
