Starring: Geraldine Page, Donnie M elvin, Michael Kearney, Hansford Rowe III, Joy Nicholson, Virgilia Chew, Lavinia Cassels. Narrated by Truman Capote. Written by Truman Capote and Eleanor Perry. Directed by Frank Perry.Geraldine Page (in an Emmy-winning performance) stars in the original versions of Truman Capote's holiday classics. A Christmas Memory recalls the child Buddy and his friend from long ago, the aging but wide-eyed innocent Sook . She takes Buddy roaming in search of pecans, candied cherries, and moonshine to make fruitcakes as gifts for all their friends and relatives. Despite the hardships of rural Alabama, they share a special bond as the season grows bright and merry with meager means. They not-so-secretly fashion gifts for each other, but none more precious than their love and companionship. The follow-up story, The Thanksgiving Visitor, finds Sook and Buddy struggling to realize their many blessings when a schoolyard bully makes an unexpected appearance. Great gift - anytime of year! *Very few prints of A Christmas Memory & The Thanksgiving Visitor exist. After an extensive search we found what we believe to be the best surviving elements. We are pleased to make this available here on DVD. The quality is not great – and one should not expect state-of-the-art re-mastered quality - but it is a treasure for those who truly wish to see this wonderful, warm holiday duo. Show more
