Needs to be shown to all the under 40 people so they understand how it really was. Also a very good "period movie". Good acting. Good cast. Great music from the late 50's. Also enjoyed all the 50's cars. Great representation of a small town in America in the 50's Great Saturday afternoon movie. Also show the pressure for girls to marry instead of having a career. Want to see it again. Will probably purchase the DVD. Are there any more movies like this? Is a sad commentary on America in the mid-century. Will we ever get past all this? Ally Sheedy and Treat Williams do an excellent job. Also Virginia Madsen pays the typical social butterfly concentrating on men instead of college grades!

The Town Christmas Forgot
(2010 TV Movie)
Wonderful Christmas Movie
27 November 2010
Warning: Spoilers
They need to make more movies like this. It's not slick but has a "good feeling". If they made more movies like this the price of admission could be a lot less at the box office. Yes it's fairly predictable but shows how these rural communities suffer.
It's about a yuppie family who gets stranded in the Colorado mountains and has their car breaks down and they have to stay over in this small town and adjust to rural life. A good lesson for any big city people (we've been both). Especially meaningful in these new depression times! How the other half lives!
If you want to learn the mindset of how these rural areas live and struggle. Has a good ending!
