Truman Capote's "A Christmas Memory" (1966) 1/6

@erp65 Is this the rip from the "ABC Stage 67" DVD that's on Amazon? I want to buy my mom this copy for Christmas, but reviewers on Amazon are saying that it's horrible quality. If this is the quality of it, I'm sold.. Looks great to me. Thanks for the upload, Merry Christmas! :)

@ET3BASS Don't hold me to this in a court of law, but yes, I'm 99.44% sure it's a digital copy of the VHS (thus the whining about "poor quality"). It should still be better quality than what I've uploaded, which is a lo-lo-lo-tech digital rip of an old-old-old VHS from a 2-head VCR. Lastly, the original broadcast, I believe, was in color, but the 1983 VHS was in b&w. I actually prefer the b&w. Hope this helps. I know you'll enjoy it, because heart & soul matters more than pixelation.

[erp65]

@daylightlover -- The whole movie is up, in 6 parts.

[erp65]

@LimeLords -- It's faithful to the book, but the film is its own animal. Both are worth your time.

@Erniethecatisawesom -- Geraldine Page, the greatest of the greats.

Thank you so very much for posting this—the complete movie! I watched it as a teenager when it first appeared on television many years ago, and still remember it vividly. I thought I would bring a copy of the story to a Christmas gathering & read it aloud (since they never show it on TV…which I don’t understand, since it is one of the best Christmas classic stories…much better than much of the insipid, trumped-up stories they keep showing.. (Only get 500 characters..so, to be continued...)

This is a '10'. Read it when I was very young. What a brilliant gift. Many people have fantastic stories...he had the wisdom...gift and goodness to write it all.Thank you.

Truman with timeless themes.. thank you

[dylanseadog]

I have longed to see this again for so long..I have no idea why it has not been released and celebrated as the best Christmas special ever. Thank you so much for adding this..you'll hear no complaints about quality from me. There is a bit torrent version of color but this will do just fine. :)
