Angela Lansbury's and Lee Remick's Christmas Movie I The Gift of Love: A Christmas Story (1983) 

but what about the film ?

I'm nearly 63 and house calls were normal for us too. Weird how like a phone, times have changed. No more party lines☺

It's so sad what has happened to the medical system in the U.S.

The film recalls memories....she is recalling one of hers by association. That is the reason for the Season !​@@brithaddenhadden8383

​@@miche1986 Yes, that it is controlled by the insurance profession .

Whaaat? Lansbury is one of the few actors/actresses who have received nominations for all EGOT awards - Emmy, Grammy, Academy Award (Oscar), and Tony Awards. Only 18 in the world have gotten all of them.

Umm Sorry but she most certainly did the get the credit she deserved 10 Fold . She not only won prime time Emmy awards , she won and was nominated for a number of those as well as TONY awards for Broadway live performances , Golden Globes , SAG award Screen actor’s Guild, People’s Choice , as well as a Lifetime Achievement Achievement award for her contributions to motion picture and television . A Star on Hollywood’s Most all of Fame in Beverly Hills . And was Given a Gala at Kennedy Center Honors. Angela Lansbury is also the winner of 2 Oscars for Best actress in a Motion picture. So she has been honoured on multiple occasions Madame .

As Brit myself , she's a legend along with Dick Vandyke .

I do understand what you mean - She had great acting talent but although she got many award she always seemed to placed on a lower shelf than most of the Hollywood actresses back then because she wasnt pretty enough - She turned all ths around later in her career by proving herself to be one of the best character actresses around

​@@williamf4544I think she was a very pretty lady, not in a fleshy way and she was wise and dignified.

So do I. But they are a!ways near.

I miss our loved ones too, but in heaven we will be together again!

We all do....and each year it gets sadder 😢

After crossing the age of fifty, you hear more of sad news, news of loss of dear ones, news of bereavement. This movie on the one hand reminds you of the same painful feeling and on the other hand gives you solace to face the ways of the world. A great movie, indeed .

Scrapbooking can help reinforce memories and even bring them to the fore. I understand that scrapbooks are very helpful for dementia patients, too.

That’s nothing! In “The Manchurian Candidate,” Angela Lansbury, 37, played the mother of Raymond, played by Laurence Harvey, who was 35 during filming! (Their birthdates are almost three years apart, though). It’s all about the acting and the facial structure!

@@andreawales1938 You have reminded me. Elizabeth Taylor born in 1932 was asked to play Joan Collins' mother in Dynasty, Collins was born in 1933. ET said "Heck No!! I am only one year older!!!

be sure to watch Hallelujah Trail

she was so beautiful.one ofmy favorite actresses

I watch her twice a month in The Europeans on Tubi. She's great and the whole film. Ivory and Merchant.

She was more than excellent with Jack Lemmon I The Days of Wine & Roses.

I know exactly what you mean❣️ Me too!!! Merry Christmas, in the now...times are not the same, but the magic remains.....♥️

Earl Hamner.

@@queenbee3647 thats right...

Me too! We had a wonderful doctor.

So do I...our pediatrician made house calls...I am 69...

WE WILL SOMEDAY, SOON ❤️🙏❤️

​@@joanneel9708🙏

Amen! What a lovely day that will. Be

Pretty smelly.

We can see our loved ones if we believe in JESUS and they did too.

The tween years! Still climbing trees and hating boys. 😅

❤

​@@LibbySlaughter101 it good movie

We did it a year before covid hit at my friends house! They have a Christmas party every year & always include caroling!❤ The neighborhood loves it too! Have gone out with others too house to house & to a few nursing/retirement homes!

@therraciangrapes I am sorry for your loss. I hope you may find solace.

Perhaps not. She had a lovely home,family, and neighbors....and family children who went home eventually. Sounds idyllic...except for one closest friend.

@@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401 The one closest friend who made it all worthwhile. To me, it is incredibly sad. But, then, I am reliving my husband who has been gone for a long long long 49 years. NOW, my excitement thrills me, as I know how very soon we will be called Home.

@@jacqueline8559 My knowledge of Bible prophecy has enabled me for the past 49 years to keep up with what is going on, Jacqueline. I have literally marked off prophecies one by one, and now we are down to the wire for when believers will leave here. My dream is having Jesus taking me into His arms, laughing as He sees my joy and awe…….and then, my peering over His shoulder to see my husband and my parents standing close by, as they wait their turn. My husband will be grinning like a Cheshire Cat at me as he gives me a big Thumbs Up sign ! My adrenaline stays on a “ 10 “ every day as I watch and wait. My eyes are on Israel and on Damascus, as they are the main thrust for believers. Tomorrow I am going to the funeral of one of my bff’s and I can’t grieve because our departure is so close, that it is going to be like a blink of an eye before I see her again. I hope that you and your husband are as ready as I am, Jacqueline. Sooooo exciting !❤️

She just dreams. It helps her to solve some problems.

Cynical and a bit pompous...my family would have been fascinated and invited him home in 5 minutes!

It's fiction, entertainment for escaping the madness of the world . Watch reality shows if viewing has to be 'real ' .

The store is old fashioned for the 1980s. Display windows, wood floors? They were competing against malls which were big and shiney and modern.

@@dixiecat666 Reality shows aren’t real….

⁠@@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401 Your family would invite a complete stranger and creep that’s chasing their daughter to get her to marry him? That’s concerning.

I hope you are vegetarian as all meat in the store lost their lives to feed you!😊 As to chopping trees, they are planting another, which is the responsible thing to do.

You are absolutely right about Angela, love that woman and every movie she did !!!! 🎄🙏🎄

It's a kind of poetry, isn't it?
