>>>AMC is running both Holiday Inn and White Christmas.
Can’t stand watching anything on AMC. Too butchered to insert advertising.
I know. I stopped watching AMC when they went to airing commercials.
(But when they have something I just have to see, I tape it so I can run past the ads- like White Christmas and Holiday Inn. They are the only ones showing it this Christmas)
TCM is showing Little Women (1949) 8AM DEC 24
I LOVE this movie.
(This review by someone of IMDB discribes it perfectly)
The opening scenes of Little Women are so beautifully captured on film that it looks almost like a Currier and Ives post card. It is so magically evocative of a New England in the early 1860’s that the viewer is transported to that time visually and emotionally. The characters are so well crafted, warm and human that you truly wish you knew them. The way the movie glides through the season’s, from the deep snows of winter, to the bright flowers of spring, through the summer into the golden hues of autumn each season is so wonderfully captured that viewers one hundred years from now will feel that they time tripped to that age so long ago. With the brutal civil war as the backdrop to the play, the movie tells the sensitive and gentle story of four young sister’s on the homefront. Each sister is defined and likeable. Brought to life brilliently by June Allyson, Janet Leigh, Elizabeth Taylor and Margaret O’Brien. Each actress captured fully the innocents, decency and depth of their roles, imprinting forever the definitive characterizations that would have made Louisa May Alcott proud. I love this most beautiful work of cinematic art so much that I never tire of watching it. It is a treat for the eyes, the heart and the soul and at the end when the camera pans back to view the sky festooned with a glorious rainbow your emotions leap for joy that a movie can so utterly express the simple elegance of human decency and goodness.
