Product Description:
Amazon.com:
A true television classic, The Homecoming was the second movie (after 1963's Spencer's Mountain) based on Earl Hamner's autobiographical writings about love, pride, faith, and survival in rural America during the Great Depression. The Homecoming introduced the Walton family, a 1930s mountain clan living a hardscrabble existence that forces patriarch John Walton (Andrew Duggan) to seek work, far from home, in the city. When John fails to return home, as promised, on Christmas Eve, his iron-willed wife Olivia (Patricia Neal) keeps a lid on their children's worry. Oldest son John-Boy (Richard Thomas), who privately dreams of becoming a writer but worries about disappointing his parents, is dispatched to find his dad. Graceful yet harder-edged than the subsequent TV series The Waltons (which recast several characters and ran for nine years), The Homecoming reveals, albeit understatedly, much about the pain of poverty even as the family draws strength and closeness through endurance. --Tom Keogh

For years my wife and I have promised each other that we would find the "original Walton's movie" for Christmas. This year we finally did locate the DVD on Amazon and curled up with the children on the couch. The Homecoming: A Christmas Story is a memory worth reliving--a beloved TV classic from my childhood.
The Waltons was more than a tv show to most of us who were glued to the tv nightly during the 1970's. The Waltons were part of the fabric of the decade itself. To this day, I'll ... Read More

This movie reminded me of my childhood. I remember watching this with my brother, sister mom and dad. I loved it as a child and loved watching it as an adult. The children today do not have the family oriented shows that we were raised with. I also bought this movie for my sister who lives in NJ. We watched it at the same time (in different states) then called and reminised about our holidays growing up. All in all a great holiday movie!!!!

I grew up watching the Waltons as a kid, and have been watching this film either on VHS or DVD for many years now. It's become a tradition with our family to pop the DVD in multiple times at Christmas. Even my 6-year old daughter has started memorizing some of the lines. There are so many moments in this film that stand out, with fantastic character actors in every role, including Edgar Bergen (Grandpa Walton), Ellen Corby (Grandma Walton) and Cleavon Little (Hawthorne Dooley). Some of the lines ... Read More

THE HOMECOMING was probably the first Christmas movie, apart from A Charlie Brown Christmas, that I can recall watching as a child. For nostalgia alone, I love this movie, but watching it as an adult, I am always struck by the depth of Patricia Neal's performance as Olivia Walton, and Richard Thomas as John Boy. Also, I always loved Cleavon Little as Rev. Hawthorne Dooley (he died far too young).
The only thing that ever bothered me about the movie is the hairstyles --the younger boys' ... Read More
