Product Description
Story of a well-to-do elderly woman, who befriends the homeless and volunteers her time with children, who learns she has an incurable illness and wants desperately to reunite her three grown grand children (who are scattered across the U.S. living their own lives), with their estranged father, her son. She hires a private detective to search for them so as to try to get everyone together on Christmas Eve A heart warming story line that most can relate to. Loretta Young brings her strength, intelligence and charm to this role. My regret is that I can't find this film on VHS to add to my collection. I would love to be able to enjoy it over and over and over again. Cast overview, first billed only: Loretta Young.... Amanda Kingsley Arthur Hill.... Andrew Kingsley Ron Leibman....

Christmas Eve: 12 1/2 on a scale of 1-10! December 14, 2009
B. Moreland
We rate films on a scale of 1-10, 10 being tops. This one we scored 12 1/2! Really refreshing and encouraging to witness the positive resolution to broken relationships. Only wish the copyright owners would get off dead center and offer it on DVD.

Wonderful Remake of Classic Christmas Movie May 18, 2009

Christmas Eve is based on the 1947 Christmas Eve movie that starred George Raft. The new version is skillfully updated and tweaked. While both movies are good, I actually favor the 1986 made for TV version. There is a warmth that is palpable between the actors -- and the cast is impressive -- Loretta Young, Arthur Hill, Trevor Howard, etc. This is what a Christmas Movie should be -- heartwarming, family oriented, and a reminder that Christmas is about love, not gifts. The story contains just the right amount of tension to to keep it from being light-weight, it has substance, and yet, there is enough genuine tenderness that I am brought to tears at the end of the film, without fail, just like I am with It's a Wonderful Life.

It is unfortunate that this made for TV movie has never been released on DVD. I bought the VHS tape with great reluctance, but the movie is so good, that the holiday season simply isn't complete without Christmas Eve -- even if the version isn't visually crisp and the sound is muddy.

I ordered this video for my mom for Christmas as it was one of her favorites. It came quickly and was in great shape just as it was described. I would definitely order from this vendor again.
