Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Michael_Elliott Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus (1991) ** 1/2 (out of 4) After the death of his wife and child, reporter Frances Church (Charles Bronson) hits a wall of depression and alcohol. Soon he's thinking about suicide until his paper receives a letter from a child named Virginia asking if there's a Santa Claus. Based on a true story, this made-for-TV film isn't a classic and it's certainly far from a great film but there's a certain charm to it that makes it worth viewing. I think the main appeal is going to be to fans of Bronson who are going to get a real kick out of seeing him play such a nice guy. Bronson made a career out of beating and killing hundreds of people but after the death of his wife he decided to try and do something softer and he does a very good job at it. You can't help but feel that Bronson was still feeling some of the same emotions as this character since his wife had died about a year before this film was made. Bronson gives it his all and really makes you feel sorry for his character. There's a scene inside an apartment room where the actor talks about guilt and you can't help but feel it's one of the best things the actor has done. Richard Thomas does a good job playing the father of Virginia. The side story deals with him being fired from his job and trying to find a new one while his family are without money. Edward Asner plays the editor of the paper and does a fine job too. I thought the producers did a very good job capturing the look and feel of when the story was set and there's no question that the costume and set designs are impressive. I think the one problem with the film is the direction, which never really pulls the two stories together and mixes them well. It really did seem uneven when the film jumped back and forth between the two and there just wasn't enough of an emotional connection to the family. With that said, the performance of Bronson is clearly the stand out here and it's good enough to make the film worth viewing.

loddo this fabulous movie is close to the qualities of scrooge, just without ghosts or it's a wonderful life. main difference should be it is a movie with a real historic background. each year i have to read the response on Virginia O'Hanlans letter, and each year I start getting in a Christmas mood. The movie is doing the same as only I'ts a wonderful life and several movies of Scrooge are able to. Christmas carol and, worth to mention, shows Charles Bronson as an actor for a hero without violence or strength, but therefore more charming. i am sorry that this movie isn't available on DVD or shown more often in Christmas time in Germany- it hasn't been broad casted for years.

RONSBLUE This was the best Christmas movie ever made,at least in my opinion. Great actors and great acting. Made the whole story seem quite real. They could not have chosen a better actor than Charles Bronson for the part of the reporter who writes the fateful editorial that will live forever in time and in our hearts.
