I recommend this movie.
Sight & Sound’s first movie.
I might try to see this film. If only because Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote it (poem) to show that we should have hope in the birth of Jesus even in real bad times. Longfellow wrote it after the cινιℓ ωαr, and after his wife died in a housefire. Even though Longfellow was a Prot (Unitarian) he had some sympathy for Catholicism. He believed in the Immaculate Conception, and he used parts of the Apostle's Creed in his writings. His friend Nathaniel Hawthorne also had sympathy for Catholicism, in that he tried to get Protestants to be more tolerant of Catholics, after he spent time in Italy (Rome, I think).
