Christmas in the Movies (Revised & Expanded Edition)

“A savvy roundup of seasonal films, with sharp observations and rarely seen photos... Like all the books in Running Press’s ongoing series of TCM tie-in books, this one is handsomely laid out and the photos look great on coated paper stock. Arnold’s writing is graceful and knowledgeable.”
 

“Readers will have themselves a merry little Christmas with Arnold’s revised and expanded edition that includes five more movies, additional content, and gorgeous photographs. Each write-up in this delightful volume is stuffed like a stocking with fun facts. Readers are sure to learn something new about the movies they’ve seen dozens of times. For instance, the 1994 adaptation of Little Women was only approved by Columbia Pictures when it was pitched as a Christmas movie. Sections on classic Christmas cartoons and movies of the 21st century complete the package, and the book’s bibliography and index ensure that it’s as useful as it is beautiful. VERDICT: A holiday treat about Christmas films that will make the perfect reading gift year-round.”
 

“Author Arnold, a film historian and TCM commentator, provides enough background, offscreen anecdotes, and justification for his picks to satisfy the most critical movie buff. Christmas in the Movies is comprehensive, informative, and fun.”
 

“Like all of the Turner Classic Movies books published by Running Press, Christmas in the Movies is loads of fun to leaf through and enjoy the gorgeous photographs. Arnold always zooms in on the most relevant details of these films from a critical perspective [and] reveals interesting things about the making of the movies... You may not be able to stuff this book into a Christmas stocking (unless it's a really big stocking), but this is a good one to put under the tree for your loved one who is a movie nut.”
