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.

Summary: Kind of a bore
Comment: This may be a "classic tale", but there have to be better movies out there. It is not a bad movie, but it has so little point to it, relative to Christmas or anything else, that it just is not worth the time to watch it or the money to buy it.

Summary: A Christmas Memory
Comment: It could have been a good story but the characters were not very credible and the plot was rather feeble. It seemed to be tedious, and had a very weak conclusion

Summary: Something is greatly missing!
Comment: Based on one of the all-time classic pieces of modern christmas literature, this TV movie version of the heartwarming Truman Capote tale of a young boy and his child-like older relative is devoid of any heart or warmth that was associated with the original story. Overacted, overwritten and overdone, it seems such a shame that hollywood could not have let this simple timeless tale be a sweet 30 minute special rather then dragging it out to 90 minutes of convoluted rubbish. Back in 1966 ABC did just that with a 30 minute version of "A Christmas Memory" starring Geraldine Page in a touching and poignant performance. As for me, I was able to locate a hard to find a copy of the 1966 version and with it's help have been able to erase this forgettable version of "A Christmas Memory" from my memory.
