wonderful family film that should be a staple at christmas time . it a mystery to me why it isn not . a true lost film that i first encounter and flicker away on my old 19 black and white rca and when the million dollar movie be still in vogue on channel 9 in new york city . this rudolph mate direct fantasy should be nestle under everyone christmas tree . but it have never be release on home video . too bad . i believe i saw part of it on amc a few year ago and before they cut many of their old film from the rotation . tcm should take up the slack and play it at easter or on christmas eve . any movie with santa and aunt bee and the hostess cupcake lady and and an actor with the first name king and can not be bad . ann blyth a sally be a bundle of energy . during her school year and she rush over to the chapel to pray for st. ann to help and give guidance to her mixed up and financially strap family . it work . so and after she graduate and she place a statue of st. ann in her own bedroom . at one point the entire omoyne residence be move to another address . i think this be do to put an end to a neighbor dispute between the omoynes and the dastardly fellow next door . blyth be cute a a button . edmund gwen can play the reclusive grandfather in his sleep . all in all and this be a satisfying movie experience .
