CLASSICS-Another Look at Christmas Movies with Jeremy Arnold

The Front Row Network

We're closing in on the holiday season, which means it will soon be time to enjoy our favorite Christmas movies once again. Brandon is thrilled to welcome back, author/film historian, Jeremy Arnold. Jeremy recently penned "Christmas in the Movies (Revised & Expanded Edition) : 35 Classics to Celebrate the Season". The book offers more than 70 pages of new content to Jeremy's previous 'Christmas Movies' book. Brandon and Jeremy discuss the new titles added as well as the special features of the book. Topics include: Christmas & Film Noir, Christmas Cartoons and the importance of the year 1947 in Christmas movies. We also discuss how Christmas movies have been important cultural touchstones in times of national trauma.

"Christmas in the Movies (Revised & Expanded Edition) : 35 Classics to Celebrate the Season" is available wherever books are sold from TCM and Running Press.
