Only a few words....... Great episode as many were on 'L&O'. Fancie Swift's acting is .. holy molly. Really good to see that their are so many people capable of such skill.

It has always amazed me how the quality of script & actors has been so high. As much as this episode is worth mentioning. On its own. L&O had an incredible amount of '10's' to it's credit. The talent Fancie shows is such a pleasure to watch. How they came out week after week without letup.??. Writers must be finally getting paid enough money that their are enough to go around.. That so many people get into the career is wonderful.

I saw this when it was broadcast in Dec 1982 on NYC PBS station. A production of WGBH Boston. Just a beautiful fantasy rendition of HCAnderson... but what is great.. I watch it every Xmas... cause my father just happened to VHS taped it that very night it was broadcast !! wow.. IBDb is the ONLY place that even seems aware of this piece. and see I became the 1st and only voter.. ugh.. Years later I transfered it to DVD.. Watching it right now.. I had a thing for Janet Lynn.. She wasn't a superstar skater cause she 'only' got a 'Bronze' medal at the 1972 Olympics. Back then and I guess it still is the case that because of our culture, if you don't win a 'Gold'.. well... forget about it.. shame.. She was a sweet beautiful skater.. Have seen some videos on the net of her skating in tournaments.. But back to enjoying it.. Merry Christmas

I don't remember how I came to see this piece but what a lucky day it was. Pure chance. What a shame that it barely has 2 dozen votes. Indicative of the tight, limited exposure of this wonderful dot of genius. Then added to this is the performances of Gielgud & Richardson. These guys are the best. What depth of character and subtlety. The actresses are also wonderful. The swallowness of todays efforts cause me to think about the cameramen, scenery, etc.. but this piece I'm lost in its grip. Totally involved with there world. This kind of quality is rarely seen today. This is a piece that can be viewed over and over and in fact is best to do so to fully appreciate it.
