Christmas Rhapsody is a great little short film from 1948, which tells the story of the lonely little fir tree which dwells in the shadows of mightier trees and longs to be as useful as his mighty neighbours.
It’s a nicely made
film, in a contemporary American setting, with a pleasing voiceover, beautifully
shot and deftly directed, with a traditional soundtrack of Christmas carols.
In the end the little
tree gets his wish when he is cut down and taken to the forester’s cottage
where it is trimmed on Christmas Eve by the forester’s family.
