Robert K Dec 19 Of all the many Christmas movies produced in the past 75-years, this little film remains my favorite. This hidden gem is so moving, and contains such an important message of grace and compassion of men in war that it deserves far more recognition that it ever received, with a particularly powerful portrayal by a post-Terminator Linda Hamilton and an equally excellent ensemble cast of supporting actors, making this single movie my favorite holiday fare for all time.

The film tells the tale of how on a stormy Christmas Eve in 1944, amidst the Battle of the Bulge, Frau Vincken, a seemingly ordinary German mother, but possessed of great strength and bravery, created a refuge for lost American and German soldiers from both the storm and the chaos, loss, and pain of war.

Fitting for any time of year really, but especially good for Christmas. Check this film out if you're in the mood for a touching drama. See more 03/13/2014 Very similar to the film Joyeux Noël. See more 12/23/2013 This was pretty good, a Christmas movie without all the commercialism and clichés. I liked how this started out in modern times with a grandfather telling his story and then we see him as a young boy with his mother during WWll. He and his mother (played by a mostly German speaking and almost unrecognizable Linda Hamilton) have taken refuge in a cabin which is invaded by American and then German soldiers. She persuades them to lay down their weapons and break bread together, pooling their meager rations for a Christmas eve feast. This did come across a bit far fetched at times, in regards to how quickly the men said "Okay" to leaving their guns outside and bonding over pineapple pudding but on the same note they ended up having a lot in common. The 15 year old German boy-soldier was particularly heart wrenching. This is based on real events which makes me like it even more. Rough time in history for so many people. 12.26.13 (2) See more Read all reviews
