The Christmas Tree 1969
$9.99 DVD Movie

A father's love turns tragedy into magic in this emotional holiday classic with caring, warmth, and wonder. Starring William Holden.

The Christmas Tree is a deeply moving, emotional drama about love, loss, and the extraordinary bond between a father and his son. William Holden delivers a powerful performance as Laurent, a wealthy French-American industrialist and WWII hero whose life changes forever when his young son Pascal is accidentally exposed to radiation in a freak atomic accident. Diagnosed with terminal leukemia, Pascal has only months to live.

Determined to make his son's final days magical, Laurent leaves behind his business life and retreats with Pascal to a countryside chateau. With the help of his compassionate fiancée Catherine, his loyal wartime comrade Verdun, and Verdun's kind-hearted wife Marinette, Laurent works to fulfill Pascal's every dream—however wild or impossible. From driving a child-sized blue tractor to raising wolves as pets, Pascal experiences joy, love, and wonder, even as he grows weaker.

As Christmas approaches, the chateau becomes a place of beauty, memory, and bittersweet hope. On Christmas Eve, surrounded by gifts and guarded by his loyal wolves, Pascal peacefully passes away under the glowing Christmas tree, leaving behind a final, hand-carved message of love and good fortune for those he cherished.

Poignant and unforgettable, The Christmas Tree (also known as L'albero di Natale) is a classic of 1960s European cinema—celebrated as "the most tearful film of the sixties"—and a timeless reminder of the preciousness of time and the healing power of love.
