Ritchie Mon, 16 Aug 2010 14:04:08 +0000 http://ornaments-christmas.com/?p=1865#comment-712 I have yet to see a really good book about the ways in which movies treat the theme of Christmas. This one had potential, but as if often the case with Midnight Marquee books, the result is shoddy. In addition to the publisher's usual problems of poor proofreading and lackluster production values, the book is really nothing more than hundreds of pages of plot summaries, with very little space devoted to any kind of thoughtful analysis. In this day and age of near-instant access to movies of almost all eras, such incredibly detailed plot summaries should not be necessary. Analysis and interpretation wind up getting short shrift in almost all cases. The authors have managed to include practically every major movie with a Christmas theme; it's nice to see often-overlooked movies like The Holly and the Ivy mentioned next to It's a Wonderful Life and Holiday Inn. Overall, however, I felt very disappointed that such an intriguing idea was turned into an such an underdeveloped and carelessly produced book.

Awkwardly arranged, filled with typos, poorly written (and seemingly not edited at all) and, perhaps worst of all, very narrow minded, this book is a huge disappointment. The authors reveal not only a sensibility so mainstream as to accept poor films because they "work," but there is an obvious moral compass applied to their criticism (allusions to sex or any profanity automatically make a film bad). <br />The Svehlas go into ridiculously superfluous detail in delineating the plots of these movies (while giving barely any historical background), then tack on ham handed critiques at the end. They obviously have a great deal of affection for the holidays and Hollywood, but passion isn't enough to make this a good book.
