I have enjoyed all of the Dukes of Christmas thus far, but Jack Skeffington is in the running for all time favorite putting him in direct contention with Theodore for my affections. Not only was Jack a swoon-worthy bachelor in his own right, but his interactions with his children were heartwarming.
