I saw this movie on TV in the mid-seventies. It was dubbed in English from the original French. I must have been about ten or eleven at the time. It moved me a lot and made a big impact on me. Now, many years later, I remembered it and Googled cancer, radiation, christmas and wolves and good old Google found it for me in about two seconds. So now I'm here on Amazon trying to buy it. Problem is, there's some animated kids movie called "The Christmas Tree" as well, and it's getting totally mixed up in the sales and availability with the William Holden movie that I want. I'm afraid to buy it and have them send me the wrong thing. Also, it appears the movie I want is only available on VHS. I haven't dusted off the old VHS player for probably 8 or 9 years. (It's on a shelf in the closet next to an 8-track tape player and a Colecovision. LOL)

While the movie itself is older and the filming more or less on a 'B' scale, it is a tremendous movie. Keep your tissues handy. Wonderful Christmas Classic.

I have ordered many items through the Amazon.com website and always been satisfied with my purchases, but during the Christmas holidays I ordered an old movie called "The Christmas Tree" with William Hollman and received a movie called "Classic Christmas Tales." Unfortunately, I ordered this movie from my sister's home and did not save a copy or my order. So I am unable to return this movie to the seller. When I received the envelope, it had a P.O.B number and I was unable to return the wrong movie to a P.O.B.. So I am stuck with the wrong movie...any suggestions to return this movie? Please let me know. cjc

..showin parts of europe,(all in europe), a sm. family: a kid, his dad, a mom to be, wolves and then christmas, in france. good original feel to this show, good acting, very sad when i saw it 1st time when i was lil'. the kid passed too quik @ the end though to seem that real and its strange how he contracted the leukemia from the get go and not his dad even though dad was under water @ the time of the weopon plane crash, as they were together around the greek isles-corsica. the dad-(w. holden) was very giving w/ cool but wild discretion; the kid-brook fuller hasn't been seen acting anymore as far as i know. cool, interesting movie; wonder if its a true story. i liked the wolves-"1" of the kid's best FRIENDS.

somewhat, i agree on what a reviewer somewhere in this review list says on the kids personality.

i saw the ending of this once or twice unexpectedly & i knew it was a special movie. it still is & probably will always be. what a wonder but a sad & kind of strange but very good, rare, original film. this is one of my fav. wm. holden films, up there w/ omen2. cool to see virna lisi actress here.

This was a film I remembered as a kid. It made an impact on me as a child so I was curious to see it again. I like the story but I thought the kid was a spoiled gay brat, not that there's anything wrong with that, but it would be a nice story to remake with some changes.
