Viewing Notes

Also on Instant Watch: Santa Claus (1959), the weird René Cardona Mexican flick often considered one of the worst films of all time (bottom #51 at imdb). That said I can see why as it’s genuinely a bizarre number but very watchable because of that.

No, it’s not a great film but in context this is delightfully entertaining as Santa with the assistance of Merlin must defeat the Devil in order to save Christmas. Quite an oddity worth seeking out.
