I heard of this movie through a magazine which listed all-time great love stories. I have always liked Sidney Poitier though never thought of him as a romantic lead. In this movie, he is a single dad who finds love again. I'm so glad I purchased this movie through Amazon. I was unable to find it elsewhere. It is a welcome addition to my collection!

I saw this movie in the theater years ago with my best friend. We both cried our eyes out. It is a beautiful love story. The story is about a love that was never to be developing between two people who meet briefly and loved deeply. It showed the importance of true love, if only for a short time. Years later, I purchased and viewed this movie with my husband. He, too, enjoyed the movie. This movie has remained one of my favorites. I highly recommend it.

This movie is a classic and quite touching. Very much worth watching more than once and adding to a collection.

I found this movie especially riveting, for the second time- I first saw it at age 15. The dialogue is excellent, as is the on screen rapport between the 2 co-stars. This movie simply works- for me at least.

I happen to run across this movie when looking for something else at the local video store, and decided to rent it. I found it to be a tender romance and not at all like the blaxpoltation movies that were out during this same time period.

This is a hard film to find, we need this on DVD.

There, he meets Catherine (Esther Anderson), the daughter of African Ambassador George Oswandu (Earl Cameron). A romance develops between them, and Dr. Younger realizes that the strange men that follow Catherine around have been hired by her father in order to keep an eye on her, because she has Sickle Cell Anemia. - [...]

"A Warm December" Gives you a warm fuzzie inside. I love Esther's wardrobe in this video. Sidney is such a classic man, and to put him with such a charming young lady is great. Out of all of his films, despite the fact that this one isnt well known it is my all time favorite.

I saw this movie many many years ago. I've wanted to own this movie for quite some time, and thanks to Amazon.com, I found it and it is now a special part of my DVD collection.

I purchased this wonderful movie that my wife knew about from amazon
.com to enjoy and watch over the holidays with my family. I was
Concerned that I wouldn't get tt in time but amazon got it there
Quickly, and I mean quick. Thanks amazon for being quick and
Efficient. Mike.

"A Warm December" is one of the great Black classics. Sidney Poitier nor Esther Anderson are given the credit they deserve for this film. It is "poetry in motion" from an Afrikans perspective. LOVE IT!
