MURPHY'S LAW...regarding Truman Capote's Trilogy, February 13, 2002
This review is from: Truman Capote's Trilogy: Miriam, Among the Paths to Eden, A Christmas Memory [VHS] (VHS Tape)
IF you have been looking for years to find "A Christmas Memory" on video, AND you FINALLY have the good fortune to find it, order it, wait for it with anticpation, get it, watch it, only to discover many little things have been cut out, you will be disappointed as I am. On the other hand, ANY copy of "A Christmas Memory," with the late great Geraldine Page, is far better than NO copy! The one part where Buddy and his dear friend discuss the fact that he is tall enough to take the star from the tree is gone, as well as other things that were IN the PBS video of the same...one would THINK that THIS video would surely contain it ALL, but alas! The other two stories on this, are "Miriam, starring Mildred Natwick, and "Among The Paths To Eden," starring Martin Balsam and Maureen Stapleton---both of which are good...however, since I have never seen these before, these may have had alot cut out of them too! Aside from this sad disappointment, I still encourage any fan of either Capote or Ms. Page to purchase this video...it is STILL well worth the having.

Great Story - Terrible video quality, January 11, 2003
This review is from: Truman Capote's Trilogy: Miriam, Among the Paths to Eden, A Christmas Memory [VHS] (VHS Tape)
In a similar vein as the previous reviewer's comments, I'd buy any copy of this I could get my hands on. I must say however that the video quality is VERY POOR, even for VHS. Should you know someone who taped this from TV, a second quality dup may be of higher quality. Be forewarned.
