I'm glad to find this Christmas movie starring Natalie Cole. I'd seen it a few years ago on cable & loved it. Though I haven't seen it since; I still remember the story of Lily, housekeeper for a wealthy white woman with a little boy(Brian Bonsall, the littlest Keaton on Family Ties). All hell breaks loose when Brian runs away to join Lily on her trip home for the holidays. His mom thinks Lily kidnapped the boy & reports it to the police. Get this video & see a great holiday story, see the end result for yourself & enjoy! Highly recommended!

What in this movie is anticipated? The coal-black complexion of Natalie Cole? The fact that she is the staring actress? (I kept waiting for her to break out in song.) Is it the bond the white child forms with his parents' servant? How quickly the mother of the child turns on this servant who is 'just like a member of the family?' Where Lily goes when trouble is suspected? How the boy reacts when he finds out? Her true relationship with family members? The eventual outcome of compounding transgressions?

Not much of what you see is expected. The fact that Natalie portrays an uneducated Southerner neutralizes anticipation for a dramatic performance with enough surprises to make the whole lesson in family ties worthwhile viewing.

(Natalie Cole has an unrelated album called "Take a Look." Interestingly, every song title has something to do with this movie.)

Great movie content. Can be viewed as a family night event. Great sales and delivery AAA+++++++++

I am looking @ this movie right now and I also own it. I love Natalie for ALL of her talents. This is 1 movie that I can view OVER and OVER again.

NATALIE COLE simply made this a WONDERFUL UNFORGETTABLE

Christmas film!!!

Thank You,
