 Something is greatly missing! December 2, 2008
The SMART Patrick (Castaic, CA United States)
Based on one of the all-time classic pieces of modern christmas literature, this TV movie version of the heartwarming Truman Capote tale of a young boy and his child-like older relative is devoid of any heart or warmth that was associated with the original story. Overacted, overwritten and overdone, it seems such a shame that hollywood could not have let this simple timeless tale be a sweet 30 minute special rather then dragging it out to 90 minutes of convoluted rubbish. Back in 1966 ABC did just that with a 30 minute version of "A Christmas Memory" starring Geraldine Page in a touching and poignant performance. As for me, I was able to locate a hard to find a copy of the 1966 version and with it's help have been able to erase this forgettable version of "A Christmas Memory" from my memory.

Years ago I had watched Truman Capote's wonderful story on TV. It was incredible and made a lasting impression on me. Not quite remembering which version I had seen and who had acted in it, I ordered this one with Patty Duke. What a disappointment. It didn't capture any of the spiritual magic of the one that I now know is the one that Geraldine Page acted in. Even though I read that it is only available in poor black and white quality, I will now order that one. I could never imagine that two acting versions could be so completely different. One completely lackluster and one BRILLIANT!

I absolutely love this movie. It's a warm and fuzzy movie. I have searched 2 years to find the DVD format. I have the book, but the movie is much, much better. Patty Duke and Eric Lloyd are perfect for their parts. It was tear jerker for me. I'm waiting for a sequel to this movie.??? I would recommend this movie. It's very heartwarming story between 2 best friends Sook and Buddy. I adore them both.
Love this movie July 4, 2008

Whether it's Geraldine Page or Patty Duke playing in this fantastic film, it's always a pleasure to pop each movie into the player, come 'fruitcake
weather' each year. The 'fruit jar' drinking glasses bring back pleasant memories of growing up in the South in the '30s and '40s...this is a delightful film for the family.
