Synopsis
Lee Remick is a suburbanite whose Christmas holiday is shattered by the death of her mother (Angela Lansbury, in their first project together since "Anyone Can Whistle," the Stephen Sondheim musical), the failure of her husband's business and the possible collapse of her marriage, and only through a dream-like visit to a simpler time in the Vermont village she once knew does she find the personal strength to overcome her despair. Earl ("The Waltons") Hamner adapted his teleplay from Bess Streeter Aldrich's short story, "The Silent Stars Go By." Exteriors of the film were lensed in Burlington and Chelsea, Vermont.
