I remember watching this movie when it first aired on television and being swept away by the story and the music. In a world where so many lame, poorly executed holiday movies are made every year, this movie is a joy to watch. First of all it stars Angela Lansbury who is box office gold. The score is highlighted with delightful and memorable songs throughout. I love that it takes place in the early 1900's featuring a Mrs. Clause who is liberated before her time and therefore features a strong leading lady. Yes it is a musical, but the music helps to carry the story along and never seems to slow down the storyline.
This is one holiday movie that will become one of your favorite holiday classics.
