Christmas in Classic Films Kindle Edition

by Jacqueline T Lynch (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 7 ratings
Christmas turns everyone who celebrates it into a classic film fan—at least for that special season.

The average person, unlike devoted classic film fans, may not recognize images of Clark Gable or know who James Wong Howe was, or be able to tell you why 1939 was such a spectacular year for films. But when yuletide rolls around, they rejoice with Miracle on 34th Street, It’s a Wonderful Life, and of course, White Christmas.

We find a vast treasure of Christmas scenes in films that were never meant to be “Christmas movies” but which are now part of the holiday canon, and this collection of essays spotlighting Christmas in classic films brings you all the warmth and memories that have become as dear a custom as decorating your home and holiday baking. You may even have one of these movies on in the background when you’re writing out your Christmas cards.

Unwrap this package and relive the moments and discover Christmas nostalgia anew, from Cary Grant’s mysterious angel in The Bishop’s Wife to poor Ralphie pining for a Red Ryder BB-gun in A Christmas Story.

There’s lots more here waiting for you under the tree.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great stocking stuffer filled with cinematic holiday cheer.

    A terrific and in depth look at Christmas in classic films. Along with the expected holiday treats (Christmas in Connecticut, It’s a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, White Christmas and many more). You will also find the unexpected (The Curse of the Cat People and Dillinger among others), and yes there are Christmas scenes in these films. Many of my personal holiday films are included (Remember the Night, Big Business, The Man Who Came for Dinner, and The Lemon Drop Kid). A great stocking stuffer filled with cinematic holiday cheer.

    Most of the movies that get full write-ups are pre-1965, the two that are post 1965 are Fitzwilly (1967) and A Christmas Story (1983).
    In a number of reviews she gives a personal touch, to explain what she brought with her to each flick and in the case of the movies made in the WII era, even one that was actually set before the 1940s, she gets into who WWII influenced the stories and how the audiences related to them.
    She does know her classics, often comparing the movies to others and gives some background info, and for a few based upon written sources such as A Christmas Carol and A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, she gets into why they are different in a matter that will not come across as stuffy.
    Some of her choices are a tad off the beaten path, examples are Dillinger (1945), Stowaway (1936), Love Finds Andy Hardy (1939), Alias Boston Blackie (1942), The Fixer Uppers (1935), and Bright Eyes (1934), but each one has significant Christmas scenes.
    In the intro, she explains why she feels that her picks are superior to more modern Christmas movies, and sometimes she keeps slamming the Hallmark TVMs, but she does not overdo this, but I will point out that she likely did not see enough of those to give authorative opinions on them.
    That, and the fact that there are other movies that she covered, kept me from giving this a 5 instead of a 4.
