Mr. Krueger's Christmas is the story of a lonely widower, wonderfully portrayed by Jimmy Stewart, who finds comfort and peace through a group of carollers singing outside his basement apartment window. His interaction with them places him in a fantasy sequence directing the world famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Later, in a very poignant scene, he imagines himself in the stable on the very first Christmas and he expresses his gratitude for the events of that night.

The additional tracks contain wonderful Christmas music by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, a unique presentation of the Naitivity, and a well made, short dramatization of the beginnings of the LDS church.

When you watch this,you realize what a treasure to the nation Jimmy Stewart was.If you don't love this short movie,you have no soul.Brings out the Christmas story and the human dimensions of our saviour's birth.A WORD OF CAUTION-the price of this product has plumented,the reason is the sponsoring church gave away a few hundred thousand last year.The sellers need to make clear which version they are selling.I just purused the listings and it is usually unclear if the FREE version is the one for sale.BUYER BEWARE!!!!If it is not the Jimmy Stewart cover-it is the free gift version.Big difference on several levels.

I had hoped this would be one of those little known Christmas classics to my list, but this was just poorly done and weird. I think this may have been part of a Mormon event, but I didn't think it seemed like a Mormon thing. However, the film is certainly a big let down and not like a class Christmas movie.

This is a beautiful Christmas movie. Jimmy Stewart is great as Mr. Krueger - he can really tug at your heartstrings!

This story really tells you what Christmas is REALLY all about - not Santa, presents, toys or Christmas Cookies, but of the birth of Jesus, and being good to one another.

I am so not a weeper, but this can get even my tears flowing!

PS - there is some great footage taken in Temple Square, where at Christmastime, it is all lit up and there are all types of special performances.

A half decent, but too short, xmas movie that's a lot on the preachy. This disc is also contains mormon propaganda.

THIS IS AN ALL TIME CLASSIC WITH JIMMY STEWART IN IT, HEART WARMING STORY WE HAVE THIS ON VHS BUT NEED IT TO BE A DVD FOR OUR DVD PLAYER

WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS MOVIE FOR 25 YEARS EVERY CHRISTMAS, IT HAS BROUGHT

A TEAR TO MY EYE IN ONE PART OF THE STORY, IT IS WONDERFULL FOR ALL AGES
