On Christmas Eve, SANTA CLAUS beguiles two children with stories of what his life is like the rest of the year.
This is a delightfully charming little film, an adroit mixture of nature photography & fantasy. With scenes actually filmed in Northern Alaska, we get to see St. Nick visiting his Eskimo neighbors & surveying his vast reindeer herd. Segments in the Workshop with the Elves are also well done and we finally get the lowdown on how Santa knows who's being naughty or nice. A lot of thought & finances went into creating this Holiday gem.
Al Kryszak provided the score for the video compilation A Christmas Past, in which this film appears.
