5.0 out of 5 stars The best Thanksgiving movie ever, October 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Holiday Treasure [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I do not remember watching this when it was on back in 1973, but I am glad to finally see it... It's about the same girl from The House Without A Christmas Tree, and is about her discovering the true meaning of Thanksgiving. She befriends an angry old man, and makes friends with him by sneaking Thanksgiving dinner from her house and bringing it to him... Her teacher told her that some of the Pilgrims invited the Indians, who were sometimes unfriendly, to eat with them to make friends out of them... Has a great moral lesson in this... GO GET IT.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Memories!, November 20, 2003

4th grade teacher (Austin, Tx) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Holiday Treasure [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I remember watching this and "The House Without A Christmas Tree" when I was a little girl and it holds wonderful memories! I am a teacher now. I ran across "The Thanksgiving Treasure" book and read it to my class. They loved it and I am excited to share the movie with them after we finish the book before Thanksgiving. -Too bad they don't show these movies on regular T.V. anymore!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Thanksgiving Classic, October 29, 2004

By 

Classic Gent (Rochester, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Holiday Treasure [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Introduce this compelling classic to your loved ones this Thanksgiving and they'll never forget it. Broadway veteran Barnard Hughes adds another dimension to the already great ensemble of Jason Robards, Mildred Natwick, and Lisa Lucas. Hughes, only in his fifties at the time, made a specialty of playing "old codgers" with delightful results! Incidentally, the moustache worn by Jason Robards was to hide a scar on his upper lip after an auto accident. In the equally great previous production, "The House Without A Christmas Tree", he is clean-shaven.
