Removal of statement re "minor holiday classic"

There are two problems with the statement I removed:

The claim is referenced to a person (Ben Mankiewicz), but no published source is provided. That doesn't qualify as a reference.
Even if someone could find a published source where Mankiewicz made that statement, it was made as a host for TCM, which has aired it for 20 years. Calling the movie a "minor holiday classic" is mere puffery from a biased company.

If a source can be found, it should be OK to add back the airing-for-two-decades claim. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 17:31, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
