Editorial Review:
Join host Jane Seymour for a rare look at the century's most memorable holiday films. Over the years, Christmas movies have embraced the hearts and minds of audiences everywhere. A Hollywood Christmas is the definitive collection for Christmas movies including classics like "It's a Wonderful Life," "Miracle on 34th Street," "White Christmas" and seven versions of "A Christmas Carol," ranging from 1935 to 1992. This collection also brings together scenes from contemporary Christmas films such as "Home Alone," "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "The Preacher's Wife," "The Santa Clause" and "Edward Scissorhands." This incredible collection is a must for every stocking!
Description of A Hollywood Christmas:
Well, there's Jane Seymour trying to decide which Christmas movie to watch with her family. What's a star to do? This 1996 special produced for the Starz cable network is a survey of Christmas films made through the years. The show does an excellent job going over all the classics (including seven versions of A Christmas Carol) plus modern films while giving us teasing moments from many holiday titles you might have missed (Come to the Stable) or overlooked (the song "Silver Bells" originated in the Bob Hope film The Lemon Drop Kid). The 90-minute show instills interest in watching these films, but fair warning for those who haven't seen standards like It's a Wonderful Life--some endings are spoiled. It's nice to see some obscure songs in their entirety, including Shirley Temple singing "That's What I Want" in Stowaway and Martha Raye singing "Silent Night" in a deleted sequence from Four Jills in a Jeep. --Doug Thomas
