Video tape studio "tricks" were quite common in the '60s, and this telefilm is filled with them. If you can get past the ancient effects, there's some charm lost to time in this Christmas time offering. A bit saccharine, kids of a very young age might be somewhat engaged but the real treat is seeing some stars of yesteryear hamming it up for their pay. Who knew Fred Gwynne could carry a tune? And Connie Stevens belting the benefits of flight while swinging on wires in angel robes. Worth a look after a few bottles of wine.
