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.

A Christmas Memory w/Patty Duke - Reviewed on 2008-10-16

Years 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 versions could be so completely different. One completely lackluster and one BRILLIANT!

I absolutely love this movie. It's a warm and fuzzy movie. I have searched 2 years to find the DVD format. I have the book, but the movie is much, much better. Patty Duke and Eric Lloyd are perfect for their parts. It was tear jerker for me. I'm waiting for a sequel to this movie.??? I would recommend this movie. It's very heartwarming story between 2 best friends Sook and Buddy. I adore them both.

Whether it's Geraldine Page or Patty Duke playing in this fantastic film, it's always a pleasure to pop each movie into the player, come 'fruitcake
weather' each year. The 'fruit jar' drinking glasses bring back pleasant memories of growing up in the South in the '30s and '40s...this is a delightful film for the family.

Once again Hollywood has decided that a genius author is not good enough for their film efforts. Although the color is welcome, the acting superb, and the little Truman adorable, the screenwriters have added several unwarrented scenes and twists to the original plot. I guess if they feel they are better than Shakespeare, who is Truman Capote to be spared? The original is much superior even if it is in black and white.
