Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I like the way they present the story of "Silent Night" but this version was created prior to historians finding new information regarding the composing of the carol. If they would update the narration to reflect the fact that the words for "Stille Nacht" were written in 1816 and the music added in 1818, it would take away the fairytale aspect of the story. The segment called "Silent Night, World War II, 1944" is very well done - good story and very good actors. You may need some hankies before you get to the end of the story. "Holiday Fest in Austria" is a nice extra feature.

It is the most popular Christmas song ever written and has been translated into 120 different languages. And yet, Father Joseph Mohr, the man who wrote this beloved Christmas Carol in 1818, died in humble obscurity. This film dramatizes the life of Fr. Mohr - his fatherless upbringing, his tireless dedication to the people of his parish in Oberndorf, Austria, and the inspiration that moved him to pen this simple poem one late winter evening. A highlight of the program is performances of the carol in both German and English by the Vienna Boys Choir. Extra Features: * Holiday Fest in Austria * Silent Night, World War II, 1944
