Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

The greatest movie ever made..!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A good Christmas movie based on a true story. I enjoy all the Christmas movies that Richard Thomas is in, especially "The Christmas Box" (made four years after this movie). For those still looking to see it again, "get TV" has several airings of it. 11/26/17, 12/08/17, 12/19/17 and possibly 12/25 (they are doing an all day marathon, but don't list what is being shown that day).

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.This film is based on true events. "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" is a phrase from an editorial called Is There a Santa Claus?. The editorial appeared in the September 21, 1897, edition of The (New York) Sun and has since become part of popular Christmas folklore in the United States. It is the most reprinted editorial in any English-language newspaper.This film however primary focus is not on the little girl Virginia. The main focus is on the adults that surrounded the events that let to writing and later publication of the famous editorial. The film is well made. It is a little depressing at times because we see people struggling to just to make through the day. Charles Bronson is effective here as man who is drinking way too much to compensate for the loos of his wife & daughter. Ed Asner co-stars as the editor of The Sun.This film is family safe but small children will be bored. If you want to introduce them to the story there is 2 animated cartoons that they will find more entertaining. I liked this adaption and found it uplifting. I will watch this again

This was a very enjoyable holiday movie. We miss seeing it offered at Christmas time. For some reason it doesn't seem to have been on in years on national TV. And it is not available for sale on video which seems odd when the oddest things are available on video and DVD these days. We keep hoping to find it on TV so we can tape it or for sale some season soon.
