Sweet movie❤
Oh, I cried so much!
It has been a learning experience for me how the Buddy(the boy) shows the way👍
TORE my heart out 😢
Is this from the story with the spinster sister?
I find it strange that Buddy being in military school isn't even mentioned in the later two stories. I wonder what became of that? Confusing if you ask me.
Thanks for sharing the Movie.
Great film. He didn’t say goodbye to his dog ☹
Fabulous and a tear jerker get the tissues out
❤Great Movie,based on a true story of the author as a small boy❤️
Fruitcake Weather✨🧈🍿🚭😇🌌🛡️🎼📽️🏡♀️🥰🏆💫⭐☀️ Unforgettable Story, Patty Duke Realistic Character, Heartwarming Tale, Truman Capote childhood 😊
That was not how i wanted it to end lol
I just found a movie called "Katharine Hepburn & Henry Winkler in ONE CHRISTMAS TV Movie (1994 NBC-TV)" which seems to be a follow on from this movie except instead of going to military school, buddy is met by his father. Im rather confused as I thought a christmas memory was the full movie?
This is supposed to be autobiographical about Truman Capote's life, the girl is supposed to be novelist Harper Lee, she appears "butch" enough for the part but "Buddy" who is supposed to be Truman Capote isn't nearly effeminate enough.
❤❤❤❤❤😢😢 beautiful movie very touching best Christmas movie. Patty Duke played good
I didn't expect to watch a movie tonight, but I saw it and thought, "wait—Patty Duke is in the Truman Capote Christmas movie?"
And here we are….
It reminds me of my Granny and Mama**❤❤❤Lovinh hearted **
Excellent! Watched while making Christmas cookies…
This movie reminds me of my childhood at 5 years old even from a different country and culture.
This movie is so amazing
So they never saw each other again?
I would like to know the little boys name? He’s such a good actor for being at this young age, he plays his role very good. Thank you.
There is a credit for Buddy as an adult, but there was no scene in which he appears as an adult. Was something cut from this video?
I remember the original version with Geraldine Page from 1966. This is a terrific remake of Truman Capote's reminiscince.
That remark about sending the application to send the little boy to military school was so upsetting! My theory is the reason was the friction was more a case of an enriched relationship jealousy. She was a good early childhood educato which was ideal, but the grouchy character was obsessed with him giving up his childhood to become a man. A Michael Landon father figure could have spent a evening and a day a week mentoring him.
i read somewhere that truman capote's last words as he lay dying he said something like ''its me Buddy''…….
When my son moved his family I moved also so I wouldn’t miss out of seeing my grandchildren grow….life is to short to hold your kids back to grow so if you don’t wanna miss out move as well!
I think I cried most of the movie. Such acting and so much love
THE BEST MOVIE, Thank you 👋👍🤗
After watching this, I immediately invited my daughter and 7yr old grandson over to play board games. He and I have a fun and silly relationship… always have.
But they grow up so fast!
Lovely story great acting moving film ❤
I love how Perry Como always ended his Christmas specials by singing the "Ave Maria." What a beautiful way to venerate the Blessed Mother whose "yes" made the miracle of Christmas – where Heaven meets Earth – possible.
I like the 1966 version with Geraldine Page much better. It is outstanding.
👍👍AWESOME movie a thousand stars and tears to boot Loved this movie the storyline and acting loved that too. Gratitude for the chance to view with special thanks Chicken Soup for the Soul. The love shared in the movie perfectly haunting
💖🙏⚘🥂🌲🎅
Loved the old one but love this one too. Patty Duke is a fantastic actress….
Thank you for the movie, it's always nice to watch something I've never seen before.Loved Patty Duke and the whole story,the fruit cake made me think of my Dad and a lady I worked with long ago .❤
What a sweet, wonderful movie. Superb acting. I wish we had movies like this today, the only thing close are Hallmark movies.
Please,translate on Serbian
As soon as I love ones leaving the house at a young age far away for years is not gonna be the same love as used to be things Chang in life for young ones
The last half i cried a lot. Why couldnt they just send him to school? Too sad for Christmas, Patti Duke has always been one of my favorites. Oh dear,😢too many tears!
❤❤❤❤❤ made me cry missing loved ones but good movie God bless
