Its a wonderful Life
Home Alone? Chris Columbus (deceased though) and Joe Pesci as actor?
Or Maybe Scrooged-Eichard Donner/Bill Murray for lead actor. Doesn't say Old Hollywood so I'm going recent classic?
*Richard Donner
No he is not.
Or White Christmas-Bing Crosby was known to be temperamental
A more modern classic: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Home Alone director Chris Columbus initially was to direct, but ultimately refused to work with Chevy Chase because he was so difficult to work with (as had other directors previously). The director credited in the film, Jeremiah Chechik, hadn’t seen the previous Vacation films and was interested because he hadn’t done comedy. Might not have worked out so well for him with Chevy. Frank Capra III was the assistant director, and is the grandson of Frank Capra, who directed It’s A Wonderful Life. Other similarities to the earlier Capra classic: Clark taking a chainsaw to the wobbly newel post, an homage to the broken newel post at the Baily house in It’s A Wonderful Life. Russ is also seen watching the Jimmy Stewart classic on TV when the grandparents arrive. I'm guessing Frank Capra III actually ended up directing this one.
Ah I looked at Christmas Vacation and didn't think the director Jeremiah C.(sp)? Didn't realize CC had a credit-- great job!

My first reaction was Christmas Vacation as well...
I need someone from ISIS to come to my house and shoot me in the brain if National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is a classic (btw ISIS as extra incentive I'm 1/2 Jewish)
+1- good trivia!
Christmas Vacation is definately not on my xmastime must see tv list either! ugh.
Are you thinking of John Hughes, perhaps? He's deceased but Chris Columbus is not.
