Who ever changed the title should have stuck with the original title, Mrs Worthington's Party. It's an unfortunate renaming because titlling it Noelle may be confused with the Disney movie Noelle with Shirley MacLaine. Having said that, the lead actor, David Wall, playing Father Keene, bares a stunning resemblance to a young Robert Redford; his hair, his front teeth, the jawline - and his acting ability! I'm surprised David Wall is not in more mainstream/famous movies - he exudes lead actor, and his acting is a joy to watch. Surprisingly, his Wikipedia page is sparse. Back to the movie, David Wall as Father Keene is the reason I stuck it out with this movie. There are a lot of likable and quirky characters, along with a love story, that fill and complete this movie. And the snowy location is charming. But David Wall is the stellar actor in this performance and makes this version of Noelle worth watching.

Loved the show at first, but Pauline Johnson's voice annoys me to no end...

Warning: Spoilers
I discovered this show on Acorn and loved it at first - Dan Johnson and his wife, Lisa, and her parents, Sue and Barry Harris. What a tight-knit and loving family! Sue and Barry Harris are a delightfully quirky couple who dote on their on adult daughter, Lisa. Then Sue (played by Pauline Collin) "moved away" and left the show. Other characters unexpectedly come and go, and it didn't throw off the show too much. BUT, it seemed when Sue (Pauline Collin) left the show, Dan's mother, Pauline Johnson (played by Paula Wilcox), took on a greater role in the family and on the show. Eegads! That obnoxious! Dan's mom is the type of relative you wished you had never invited! Watch and you'll agree that Dan and Lisa need to lock there doors!
