Absolutely the worst movie.

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The unexpected mix of actors in the cast resulted in an outstanding telling (historical novel-style) of the true story it is based on. It also gives an 'in-your-face' view of what life was like in the northern US at that time, especially for Irish immigrants.Personally, I found it better than any of the annual Christmas cartoons, and on par with the great classic Christmas movies. The acting was remarkable, especially Charles Bronson, Richard Thomas, Ed Asner, & Katherine Isabelle as Virginia. You could almost feel the deep emotions of grief, frustration, and experience their transformation. Wow.There must be some really strange reason why it has not ever been released to the public. There are copies listed at iOffer.com, though I have yet to see what the quality is like.

I have not seen this movie in several years and am truly saddened that I haven't. It has to be one of the best Christmas movies I have ever seen. As far as I am concerned, it rates right up there with all the Christmas classics and should be shown every year.

This was the best Christmas movie ever made,at least in my opinion. Great actors and great acting. Made the whole story seem quite real. They could not have chosen a better actor than Charles Bronson for the part of the reporter who writes the fateful editorial that will live forever in time and in our hearts.

This was a heart-warming movie with excellent choices for the parts. I would like to see it every Christmas or even offered on tape or dvd.Richard Thomas does a great job and Bronson is great as Frank Church. This movie should be included in any Christmas Classic Collection.
