Darren McGavin makes the movie, it wouldn’t have been the same with anyone else.

He definitely was the standout, but I thought the entire cast was ideal. Who else could have played Scutt Farkis as well as the guy they used? Melinda Dillon was great as the mom and I also liked Teddi Moore as the schoolteacher. She had also appeared in director Bob Clark's Murder by Decree.

Nope. The Narrator made the movie.

Yes, the Dad was the best character in the movie - bar none.
