This adaptation of Truman Capote's A Christmas Memory

This adaptation of Truman Capote's A Christmas Memory is a valiant effort and not badly done. Though it does not live up to the wonderful 1967 version with Geradine Page as Sook...it is worth the look see especially since the Page version has never really been given a top quality DVD or Blu Ray release (which it so badly deserves). If you are aware of Capote's The Grass Harp...I think you will see that this particular filmed version is a combination of both the A Christmas Memory and The Grass Harp....and it works to a point. Patty Duke does a great job being Sook Faulk....she can always be counted on to give a fine performance. Have been a fan of the written work and having read it so many times it is almost burned in my memory...this script does lift the narration and the dialogue from the short short pretty faithfully. So, enjoy it for what it is....while we wait for the 1967 version to be released for all the world to once again enjoy.

Patty Duke's finest work since the Miracle Worker

Patty Duke's finest work since the Miracle Worker. Although there is not a lot of "Christmas" in the movie, the characters are fully fleshed out. It is a picture of life from a past decade when a 'family' included relatives and "the help", a frequent situation in the rural south. I found it warm and charming as it dealt with the close relationship of a young boy and an auntie who found in him someone to share life with and take care of.
