Well, there's Jane Seymour trying to decide which Christmas movie to watch with her family. What's a star to do? This 1996 special produced for the Starz cable network is a survey of Christmas films made through the years. The show does an excellent job going over all the classics (including seven versions of A Christmas Carol) plus modern films while giving us teasing moments from many holiday titles you might have missed (Come to the Stable) or overlooked (the song "Silver Bells" originated in the Bob Hope film The Lemon Drop Kid). The 90-minute show instills interest in watching these films, but fair warning for those who haven't seen standards like It's a Wonderful Life--some endings are spoiled. It's nice to see some obscure songs in their entirety, including Shirley Temple singing "That's What I Want" in Stowaway and Martha Raye singing "Silent Night" in a deleted sequence from Four Jills in a Jeep. --Doug Thomas

Wonderful Christmas Memories December 1, 2004

Jane Seymour does an outstanding job of introducing scenes from the brightest and best of Hollywood Christmas films. There are the real classics "Miracle on 34th Street" (the original, of course), "White Christmas", and "It's a Wonderful Life." The excerpts from seven versions of "A Christmas Carol" let you compare the various actors who played Scrooge. The best in my book is the 1951 version featuring Alister Sim. More recent highlights include "Home Alone," and "The Santa Claus." It's a nice review of the way that Hollywood treats Christmas and should be part of everyone's Christmas DVD collection.
