The big screen in this musical Christmas tale that is

The film has a wonderful story and beautiful songs
performed by Mr.Tripp(who also wrote the tunes with Mr.Ray Carter),Mr.Brazzi and the actors playing
Santa and Mrs.Claus(Played by Mr.Brazzi's late wife Lida).
The sets are dark but charming and the acting is superb.
For anyone..who wants a truly charming and tuneful
Yultide Fantasy?
This is the one film to have.
One of best old time Family Holiday movies
If you are looking for a great family movie for Christmas, this is it!! My family has been watching this every year since it was released in 1966. My grown children still come home ( with thier children) to watch this movie together.
dvd a little different ...
great seeing this on DVD, but beware, a few changes have been made. the opening title of the film is not in english. the logo that opens the film is missing. the ending credits aren't in english either. the gag at the end of the film ("all characters are purely fictional -- except for santa claus!") is missing. to see the stuff cut here, buy a used copy of the old hbo vhs tape. oddly, this DVD has no extras; not even a trailer -- and it isn't widescreen. all that said, however, the quality is great, looking much better than the old tape. i like this film; if you do, buy the DVD. i only wish they wouldn't have cut anything out.
