I have a very old, scratchy, taped-off-the-tv video of this movie that I watch every Christmas and any other time that I desire. I've periodically tried to find another new one fearing that some day this old tape of mine will self-destruct. This is the sweetest, funniest, most heartfelt movie, and I have enjoyed it along with my family for many, many years. Jason Robards is exquisite as usual and Eva Marie Saint is truly a saint, putting up with this old curmudgeon. Bryan Englund is superb, bringing a touching and sympathetic portrayal of Rusty, the boy who has no choice but to be shipped off to his grandparents in Minnesota during the depression. A young boy helps his Grandad's heart to heal. You will laugh heartily, but you will also cry.....you won't be able to help it.

I first watched this movie in the late '70s - my mom made me sit down and watch it. It was presented as a "Hallmark Hall of Fame" made-for-TV movie. As it turns out, it is one of the best movies I have ever seen, holiday or not. It will make you laugh and cry, and may even render some goosebumps with the point it makes about life. If you have not seen this movie, please give yourself a treat at Christmas and sit down to watch this movie with family and friends - you won't be sorry.

I spent about 45 mins writing a very passionate review of his movie in this space about 2 months ago. I submitted it too! You don't seem to recieve it. Really was a heart felt review too. Sorry, Don't have any copis of it--unless you do?

This is one of those movies you see on TV and never forget. I have remembered it all these years but couldn't remember the name. Now with all the information resources on the internet, you can get that information. When I found the title on Amazon using the actors names I held my breath to see if it would be on DVD...Nope...ugh. As other reviewers have said, it is funny, sad, sweet, poignant...wonderful. You really get the Christmas feeling with all the snow and it is an old fashioned type Christmas. Reminded me of some of my own childhood Christmases. If it were on DVD I would buy it in a hot minute!!

IF you like good Christmas movies, this is one that will fit the bill. IT has everything from humor,sadness, joy and love. Jason Robards and Eve Marie Saint are the perfect match for this movie- The movie will brings a tear to any ones eyes unless you are a Scrooge, but it will also bring a smile. Wonderful Christmas Movie --I loved it.

This is one of the best "Feel Good" movies you will EVER see. I've watched this movie for many years . It's the highlight of our Christmas
Movie watching ( a close second is Mercy Mission).

When I started watching this I was Late Young , and now I identify
strongly with Jason Robard. I see something new every year. Buy the movie. You won't regret it.
