| User ReviewDonna MThis movie is one of my top 5 Christmas movies of all time. It takes your breath away. I hope someone retools it for BluRay...It's worth the investment |
| User ReviewJason HAn underrated holiday movie that the networks don't show anymore, and stars one of the greatest actors of all time, Mickey Rooney. This needs to be released onto dvd/blu-ray/digital hd so that way it is not forgotten! |
| User ReviewCynthia KBest christmas movie! Wish they would start playing it on tv again! |
| User ReviewD Craig FI have been looking for this movie on TV, and elsewhere (DVD), for a very long time! It's a very heartwarming Christmas story & I would really like to see it again. It aired on TV in 1984 & some people are selling it on VHS (however, we don't HAVE a VHS player anymore!).. :( |
