Description of The Christmas Box / Timepiece:
Hallmark's warm, 1995 made-for-television movie The Christmas Box and its darker, 1996 prequel, Timepiece, are logically and delightfully paired in this DVD package. In the former, Richard Thomas plays Richard, a ski-shop owner consumed with work and unhappy about his family's insistence on sharing a lonely mansion with Mary, an icy, humorless widow (Maureen O'Hara). While Richard's wife and child develop loving ties with Mary, he suffers recurring dreams and grows convinced the house is haunted by a tragedy from the old woman's past. Timepiece jumps ahead 16 years from the resolution of that story, then takes us back to the 1940s, when Mary (Naomi Watts) and her late husband, David (Kevin Kilner), a wealthy arms supplier to America's war effort, marry and endure both a bogus murder trial and a crushing family loss. While it's wonderful to see O'Hara, Timepiece proves the grittier, more interesting film, helped mightily by a cast including James Earl Jones and Ellen Burstyn. --Tom Keogh

2009-10-27 - I was very happy with my experience purchasing The Christmas Box and Timepiece DVD. It arrived within a few days of purchasing it and it was in perfect condition. I had been trying to find this DVD since last Christmas to add to my collection of Christmas movies. In my opinion this duo should become a part of the timeless classics we love to cry over at Christmas time. They are both very special movies that I will enjoy for years to come. Thank you for making this purchasing experience so easy and efficient.

2009-03-16 - I liked the first part very much. It's not what I'd remembered having seen it many years ago, but I'm glad to have it in my collection. I also read the book prior and the adaptation was great.
