Editorial Review: Description: When Buddy (Eric Lloyd, The Santa Clause 3) is abandoned by his parents at the age of seven, he is dumped in the south at the small-town home of some older unmarried cousins. Without friends of his own age, Buddy develops a close friendship with one of the older, simpler ladies, Sook (Patty Duke, The Patty Duke Show) and the two undertake many adventures together. At Christmas time, they bake 31 fruit-cakes which they give as Christmas presents, even mailing them to President Roosevelt and Jean Harlowe! Although Buddy is eventually urged to move on with his life by his incessant cousin Jennie (Piper Laurie, Carrie), the memories of his friendship with Sook lives with him forever. Based on the original novel by Truman Capote, A Christmas Memory is a heartwarming story of love and friendship - and it is now available for the first time on DVD just in time for this holiday season.

It seemed to be tedious, and had a very weak conclusion Rating: - Something is greatly missing!Based on one of the all-time classic pieces of modern christmas literature, this TV movie version of the heartwarming Truman Capote tale of a young boy and his child-like older relative is devoid of any heart or warmth that was associated with the original story. Overacted, overwritten and overdone, it seems such a shame that hollywood could not have let this simple timeless tale be a sweet 30 minute special rather then dragging it out to 90 minutes of convoluted rubbish. Back in 1966 ABC did just ... Read More Rating: - A Christmas Memory w/Patty DukeYears ago I had watched Truman Capote's wonderful story on TV. It was incredible and made a lasting impression on me. Not quite remembering which version I had seen and who had acted in it, I ordered this one with Patty Duke. What a disappointment. It didn't capture any of the spiritual magic of the one that I now know is the one that Geraldine Page acted in. Even though I read that it is only available in poor black and white quality, I will now order that one. I could never imagine that two acting ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
