A Visit to Santa (1963)

Fantasy | Holiday | Short

Overview

One of the cheapest Santa films ever produced. Shot in Pittsburgh, with blurry home movie footage of Santa parades (on one float he sticks out of a giant chimney, on another he stands in the cockpit of a rocket ship). Santa sits in a vinylite Laz-E-Boy as he orders his elves (kids dressed in leotards) around. Features a trip to a department store and endless footage of a large toy train setup. (archive.org)

Viewing Notes

Short film filler between features on TCM. One of those odd low budget holiday short films that looks like it was made to promote a department store but shot in someone’s basement.
