I love classic Holiday films!
They just don't know how to make Christmas films anymore! I do LOVE to watch the classics, in fact, I have been watching them my entire life and watched IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE before it became the most watched film of all-time. I even wrote Frank Capra and Jimmy Stewart when I was very young and they sent autographs. I was on WGN MORNING NEWS with ZU ZU a few years back and my Mom was with her last night at a IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE screening. I have many favorite Holiday films including MIRACLE ON 34th STREET, THE BISHOP'S WIFE and HOLIDAY AFFAIR. Just like RANKIN/BASS specials, it would not be Christmas without annual viewings of these!Posted by Thomas Frederick
This 2006 DVD release combined with the 1994 huge video box set, make up a wonderful WHITE CHRISTMAS collection! I have the film on right now and always love watching it! Michael Curtiz directed it. We watched another classic Curtiz film last night...KING CREOLE with Elvis Presley (His finest film). Curtiz's best known film is CASABLANCA. The DVD release above was available at STARBUCKS and has a beautifully designed TCM Christmas film guide in it!
This book came with the 1994 Deluxe video box set! A beautiful huge box!
