“I played one of the elves in the movie. When Santa u0026amp; Anya are shown the Elf Village for the first time u0026amp; watch all the toy-making, Patch (the late Dudley More) u0026amp; a small group of u0026quot;elf musiciansu0026quot; are seen u0026quot;playingu0026quot; the music. Watch out for me at the top of an u0026quot;elvish double-bassu0026quot;. The movie was available on DVD in the UK u0026amp; I purchased a copy, having not seen it since itu0026#39;s release. I think itu0026#39;s a lovely Christmas film that deserved greater critical acclaim than it received. Iu0026#39;m glad to see that it is now becoming something of a cult movie, which should ensure itu0026#39;s existence for many years to come. Having viewed the movie this year (2016), I feel proud to have made a small contribution to a film that tells a timeless story with considerable integrity. David Huddleston who passed away recently was the perfect casting for Santa Claus.”
