The Gathering is my favorite Christmas movie but it is never played on television. I taped it years ago on a VHS and had to watch that version until now. Ed Asner (Adam) is great as the dying gruff father. Gregory Harrison plays "Bud," the estranged son. Bud is a chilled out, likable guy (with dark hair). The rest of the cast are all very good, especially Lawrence Pressman as "Tom," the other son at odds with the old man. The Gathering works because of the great script and the actors believeable performances.

On the other hand, The Gathering Part 2 suffers from a poor script and although the same great cast are in this movie (All but you Bud and Toni - and of course Ed Asner) the performances don't work as well. First of all, Bud is now played by Jameson Parker. Bud's character is now not pleasant and likeable and he has "fair" hair. Julie and George's kids had platinum blonde hair in the first movie but have jet black hair in part 2. Continuity problems aside, The Gathering Part 2 is uncomfortable to watch.
Kate (Maureen Stapleton) is being persued romantically by Victor Wainwright (Efram Zimbalist Jr.), a rich executive who the family believe is after Kate's money and Thorton Industries. There is a "romantic" scene with Kate and Victor in his hotel room that will make you squirm. Another scene that is hard to watch is when the family does father's "famous Christmas recitation." Buds' problem with Tom is that Tom fiqured out Dad was dying and Bud didn't, so Bud is grouchy with Tom throughout the film. Even when they resolve the problem you want to give Bud a slap.

Wow. Had the VHS. Haven't seen this since I was a kid, remembered it as being sad, but a Christmas classic... Watched again as an adult and it's a total tear-jerker. The importance of family at Christmas really hits home. Great cast and directing. The sequel is included, a decent made-for-TV movie, just not as good as the the original (and they changed Bud!).

I'd never seen this well-made TV movie from 1977 so it was a real treat. Although most of the family's problems were solved a tad too easily, it was still enjoyable. Poignant reminder about family and the importance of being a good father.

Don't let the low price fool you! This is a really nice copy of The Gathering! The sound and picture quality are both clear. I am delightfully surprised!

Now, I didn't watch The Gathering 2, but I assume it's of the same high quality.

I bought this DVD as a gift for my Mom. She loved these movies when they were first broadcast, and she had been muddling through all these years watching a much used VHS tape. I gave this DVD to her on Thanksgiving and she was so happy with it that she sat down and watched them on Thanksgiving evening.

Just ordered this set. I am so excited to get it soon. I tried watching my old vhs tape of it I have for many years after taping off the television. It is my favorite Christmas movie ever. It was filmed near where I live and reminds me of my childhood. Makes one happy the father wants to reconcile before it is too late.

The Gathering was filmed in the Ohio town I grew up in. It is a heart warming story and has always been one of my favorite Christmas movies. I am glad to see it on DVD.

This movie was a holiday favorite for our family when I was younger and watching it again as an adult brought back good memories.
