A Christmas Wish is a heartwarming holiday classic about
a family (led by Jimmy Durante) who is down on their luck
at Christmas time. Shortly before Christmas, they move into
an apartment where Rupert the Squirrel lives in the attic
rafters. Just when it seems that the holiday will come and
go without so much as a Christmas tree, Rupert acts as the
family’s guardian angel – not only saving Christmas,
but changing their lives forever.
The film is enlivened with the warmth of an unforgettable
love story between Terry Moore (Mighty Joe Young) and Tom
Drake (Meet Me In St. Louis). Rupert the Squirrel (created
using George Pal’s Academy Award® winning animation
technique) will charm young and old alike. Jimmy Durante shines
when he sings “Jingle Bells” and other well-loved
Christmas carols in the evocative voice that made him one
of America’s most loved Christmas personalities. |
