Silent Night, Lonely Night (1969 TV Movie)
7/10
Holds up quite well after 50 years
23 May 2021
For a TV movie from over 50 years ago, it holds up remarkably well. A quiet, intelligent film, with some beautiful (and REAL) snow scenes shot in Amherst, MA, where the story is set. The most unrealistic scene was where they tear around on a snowmobile amidst numerous x-c skiers, barely missing hitting some of them. In real life, the skiers would be ANGRY at that, and for good reason! And there is no explanation given why Sparrow is suddenly an expert at guiding a horse-drawn sleigh on a long afternoon ride through the snow (and manages to bring it right into town, as well, lol). But those are minor things, overall the movie is well worth a view.
