The Least of These: A Christmas Story (2018)

The Least of These: A Christmas Story: Directed by Mark Nicolosi. With Tayla Lynn, Emma Faith, G. Michael Nicolosi, Hussein Adnan. A charming Christmas tale of hope, forgiveness, and faith that centers around a single mom, her seven-year-old daughter, and a Salvation Army Santa Claus.

“This expose of a Hollywood heel plays like a bush-league attempt at the baroque language of SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS, but man, does it work. Stephen Boyd is the absurdly mannered amoral punk whou0026#39;d screw over his mother and steal her shoes to make it to the top. Among those with his shoeprints on their neck are Milton Berle (horny, melancholy, used-up agent), Jill St. John (tragic u0026quot;roundheels broadu0026quot;), Tony Bennett (as Hymie Kelly, the tragic Jewish-Irish second banana) and Elke Sommer (Swedish zaftig-bomb with a conscience). As directed by Russell Rouse, THE OSCAR has the feel of Sam Fuller doing overbright TV. The movie is way beyond u0026quot;campyu0026quot; or u0026quot;good-bad;u0026quot; nearly every scene is a diamond-plated jaw-dropper.”
