Anoither masterpiece, should be shown yearly.

I saw this while in the hospital & never forgot the story, but had no idea of any production details. Quite by chance, do I now know that, years ago, I saw another Capote masterpiece.Geraldine Page put her heart & soul into the character "Sook" & the entire holiday story was charming. The previous year (1966) Truman Capote, with Frank & Eleanor Perry, produced "A Christmas Memory". Many wonderful comments have been written about that production, & this story falls in the same category. Why ,oh Why isn't this, at the very least, shown yearly along with "A Christmas Memory". ABC could certainly boost its ratings. I suppose its too much to ask that both be put in DVD,& Video format for countless families around the country to enjoy.

Sometimes small is big.

Sometimes simpler is better. Sometimes small is big. Sometimes understated makes a loud statement. These are the things I remember about this "small" movie seen several years ago.

The storyline is simple. The production is small, and the acting is understated. But through the thousands of movies I have viewed over the last 30 years, for some reason this movie rises to the top.

Geraldine Page's performance was so convincing that her character seemed to be a person known intimately. Maybe it's just a sentimental nostalgic quality that entices me; but someone must agree since Page's performance was acknowledged with a well-deserved Emmy.

Too bad this movie isn't shown every holiday season, but then society has become too "big" and too "complicated", hasn't it?
