Douglas Fairbanks Jr Presents The story of silent night
This one program was the absolute heart and center of the 1950's Christmas. The program held such power in the holiday season that it was easily on the level of a Bishop Sheen type and size devoted audiences. There is NO way to describe to anyone younger than say 58 the power and centrality of this one program to the 1950's Christmas experience. It was run every Xmas from 1953 to I think 1959 or 60. Amazing, wonderful, inspiring and profoundly uplifting. We used to pick up our tree at the Brooklyn Terminal Market then cruze around Canarsie for like an hour to see the like 50 Blocks decorated to the MAX unreal! A LOT of blocks were really Christmas light tunnels..but at a certain time we had to put that Hudson Hornet with our big tree on top in gear and "cut out" for home..because Silent Night was coming on the air and NO ONE wanted to miss this wonderful program that, again, was the real heart of our Christmas season. I would love to be able to purchase a good copy of this super Christmas classic. JeffreyJSmith.NewYork@USA.com.. 646 670 3703
