Love them all !!

I have three out of the four Addie series on video. I Have "The House Without a Christmas Tree 1972. The Holiday Treasure 1974
(It was originally called "The Thanksgiving Treasure" when it was aired on TV. And I also have The Easter Promise 1974. I dearly love them all. The first one the best. In the second one "The Holiday Treasure" the father softens up a bit.The last one in the series was "Addie and the King of Hearts" but I inquired and was told it was not and that there are no plans to ever release it on home video. I can't imagine why since they did the other three. I guess because it doesn't have sex and alot of obsenities in it. Maybe if alot of us wrote CBS they might consider it.

A much nice installment of the series

This is the third installment stemming from "A House Without a Christmas Tree." I wasn't sure what to expect and I won't include any spoilers in this review, so I recommend buying the video first before someone spoils it for you. But, in short, this story is about a successful Broadway actress (played by Jean Simmons) who comes back to the small town where she grew up and whom Addie befriends. Simmons gives a riveting performance that I wonder if she was nominated for an Emmy. If not, she certainly deserved one.

In addition to Lisa Lucas reprising her role as Addie, so do Mildred Natwick and Jason Robards. Buy it now for Easter before the demand hits.

Too bad they are gone

This edition of the House Without a Christmas Tree series is as excellent as the Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day editions. Does anyone remember that there was a Valentine's Day entry? I wish I could remember the title. I am certainly glad that I purchased all of the titles available in this series a year ago. It now appears that they are no longer available. These stories are simple and powerful. I was really into art as a little girl and I always found the scene opening sequences made out of construction paper fascinating. The programs have the appearance of a play that was filmed and not some fancy production, yet they get their point across. Too bad current generations cannot enjoy these stories.

Very good but not a classic

As a big fan of the first two plays in this series, "The House Without A Christmas Tree" and "The Holiday Treasure", I regret to say that I found the "The Easter Promise" to be not quite on the same high level as the former two in terms of substance. The lovely and talented Miss Jean Simmons is a welcome addition to the exceptional trio of Mildred Natwick, Jason Robards, and Lisa Lucas but I feel this story is not as moving and powerful as the previous two. It's still more rewarding and enjoyable family fare than the average TV drama just not "great" or a "classic" in my opinion.
