About Marcia Studley Expertise I`m a true member of the tv generation! I grew up doing my homework while watching the classics of the 60`s and 70`s and today, they are still my favorites. I have a big library of tv and film reference books at my disposal, as well as a large video library. My memory is pretty darn good too, and when that fails, I can hit the books and/or videos, not to mention a few friends who are as devout tv gen members as I am. Please note that my expertise is with American tv only.
Question I just posted an answer to a request ... I believe the special in question is an early 70's Christmas show called "The House Without A Christmas Tree" with Jason Robards. The little girl's name is Addie, and it's a story about a man who has lost his wife. There was a Thanksgiving special about the same family and I can't remember the name of it. Any ideas?
Answer HI Riona ...
From imdb.com:
This was broadcast in 1972 on CBS, and not shown again till Disney picked it up in the very early 80's, along with the other two movies taken from Gail Rock's wonderful reminiscences of growing up in rural Nebraska, "The Thanksgiving Treasure" and "Addie and the King of Hearts". This film is available on VHS tape, and is highly recommended for the whole family. My own children always adored it.
