Christmas in Classic Films (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798357041579)

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.
