Editorial Reviews
With the famous Vienna Boys Choir giving stirring English and German renditions of Silent Night at the Austrian Palace, this film dramatizes the true story of Fr. Joseph Mohr and how he came to compose this be loved Christ mas carol. This moving film tells of his poor upbringing, his devotion to his parish people and how this humble priest was inspired by God to write the world s most popular Christmas hymn. Publisher: Ignatius Press Format: DVD, 105 minutes ISBN: 033937034220

Nice story, beautiful scenes, fairly factual,
By Bill Egan "Christmas Historian" (Florida USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Story of Silent Night (DVD)
I like the way they present the story of "Silent Night" but this version was created prior to historians finding new information regarding the composing of the carol. If they would update the narration to reflect the fact that the words for "Stille Nacht" were written in 1816 and the music added in 1818, it would take away the fairytale aspect of the story. The segment called "Silent Night, World War II, 1944" is very well done - good story and very good actors. You may need some hankies before you get to the end of the story. "Holiday Fest in Austria" is a nice extra feature.

I have shown this video to a number of my students every year, and they love it! I think that it is best for grades 3-6. The brief concert and story about the Vienna Boys Choir is a little slower paced than current movies, but don't give up too soon. The story about soldiers on Christmas Eve is riveting. They love it, and they ask to see it again every year. I can't help but watch it myself.
