Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack Spanish; Amaray Case Kris Kringle (Mickey Rooney) is a young boy with an immense desire to do good things for others. In his home village of Sombertown, Kris has started a gift factory where he builds toys and gives them to all the local children. But when the evil ruler Burgermeister Meisterburger (Paul Frees) bans toys from the land, Kris is forced to go directly to Mother Nature and beseech her for assistance. With the help of magical elves and several special reindeer, Kris works hard to overcome the Burgermeister and deliver toys to all the children of the world, earning him the name Saint Claus, or Santa Claus. This timeless tale by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin is narrated by Fred Astaire.
One of the first Rankin-Bass Christmas specials (it was preceded by THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY in 1968), SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN received acclaim from both children and adults alike and spawned a number of similar films, including THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF SANTA CLAUS and THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS. The movie's detailed, macabre stop-action puppets and gothic tinge were clearly an influence on Henry Selick and Tim Burton's THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, and it remains an important animated film to the moviemakers of today.

The Best Christmas Special; by far.
The is the entire historical tale of Santa, from his birth to his old age, and how all of those familiar things we know about him came to be. Wonderfully told by Fred Astaire.
For those of us in our 30's and early 40's, we laugh when we here the name Burgermeister Meisterburger. I just recently watched this for the first time in many years, and had forgotten how incredible this one really is. The musical score is nothing short of a masterpeice, by far the best music of all the Christmas specials. Songs like "There'll be no more Toymakers to the King" that the Burgermeister and Grimsly sing is one of the all time greats (not just in Christmas specials). And Jessica's song "My World" with the sixties tye-dye overtones is just delightful (always cut out in the TV version). And the "If you sit on my lap today" by Mickey Rooney is so catchy (that touching melody plays thoughout the special). And of course there's the tune everyone remembers most; "Put One Foot In Front of the Other", that Kris and Winter sing. Truly magical. There will never be another Christmas special ever made that will rival this one. A must have.
Classic lines:
Mr. Warlock says: "You musn't mind the tree monsters; their bark is worse than their bite"
Winter says; "I'm crowded!!! But at least I'm loved."
Kris says to Jessica; "Watch out for that dolly; she's a hardened criminal."
Burgermeister says; I've been bamboozelled!"
Winter says "I still have a little magic in me; I'm not such a loser after all!"

DUEL, one of Steven Spielberg's first vehicles, foreshadowed the blockbuster film JAWS. Using minimal dialogue and effects, Spielberg defines the characteristics of his prolific oeuvre in this early work. Through tight cinematic narration, he effectively conveys the sudden and shocking horror that develops over the course of the film.
On a deserted stretch of California highway, businessman David Mann (Dennis
Weaver) settles into his red Valiant for the long drive to an urgent meeting. Ahead of him on the road is a slow-moving diesel truck, which David innocently decides to pass. So begins the long duel between David and the Goliath-like rig in this nerve-wracking TV movie. Menacing David at every twist and turn of the highway, the truck tries to push the Valiant onto a train track, run David down in a phone booth, engage him in a high-speed chase, and tailgate him into oblivion. Hoping to lose the rig, David stops at a roadside café only to realize that the driver of the truck is also in the restaurant. The driver is never seen, except one shot of his beefy
arm waving the Valiant ahead into oncoming traffic. Instead, Spielberg ...
