A Miracle In The Wilderness December 31, 2008

This is one of the best movies ever seen on TV. Too bad we have so much junk and trash on DVD's and not a WONDERFUL movie like this one.

I can't believe that this movie has never been released on DVD!!! Especially with all of the fame that Kim Cattrall got with her role in Sex and the City...I would think that it would have created more of a demand for the other things that she has acted in, but somehow this one seems to have been lost along the way somewhere! I first saw this movie on television many years back and later rented it on VHS. It left such an impact on me that I have been waiting and watching for it to come out on DVD ever since. It is a very touching movie...A wonderful twist on the traditional Christmas/Nativity story. Following is a description of the movie (written by Jason Ankeny, All Movie Guide):
"Derived from Paul Gallico's novella The Snow Goose, this Christmas fable stars Kris Kristofferson as Jericho Adams, a one-time Indian fighter. On Christmas Eve, he, his wife (Kim Cattrall) and their child are kidnapped by a band of revenge-minded Blackfeet warriors being hunted by the U.S. Cavalry. After Jericho's violent escape plans go awry, it's up to his wife to earn their freedom through more peaceful means: by telling the Nativity story to a tribe who has never before heard it."
~~ I hope that some day they will wise up and reissue this movie on DVD, but for now, I guess those of us who have seen it and love it will just have to keep hunting down and wearing out those VHS copies that are still out there!

Especially appreciated the telling of the Christmas story from a Native American perspective. Shows how all men relate to God in their own way.

It has both comedy and action and a uniqueness of taking the Christmas story and making it understandable to Natives or to strangers who have never known the True Christmas story

Miracle in the Wilderness, based on a novella by author Paul Gallico is a visual and moral feast. Beautiful scenery, fantastic performances and a great story have been artfully directed by Kevin James Dobson. This is a movie I would wholeheartedly recommend to any age group , that can be viewed time and time again.
