Flipping thru the channels one night during the holidays and saw this movie...was so enthralled by it especially the suprise ending...I continued to watch all the other silent holiday films that followed...the actors back then had to be really creative and talented to be able to entertain you and make you understand what's going on without sound or subtitles...children would love this one...easy to follow and a great look into what our families went thru back when life was hard but simplier. :-)
