THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – THE CHRISTMAS THAT ALMOST WASN'T (1966)

 

When Sam Whipple (Paul Tripp) was a boy he wrote a letter thanking Santa for the presents he received and offered to return the favour someday if the need ever arose and Paul grew up to be an attorney.

One day in his office he is flabbergasted to be visited by Santa Claus (Alberto Rabagliati) shortly before Christmas because he was desperately in need of his services.

The nature of the problem was that an unscrupulous, odious grasping old miser named Phineas T. Prune (Rossano Brazzi) had managed to get his hands on the deeds to the North Pole.

Prune was demanding back rent and if it doesn’t settle up Santa, Mrs. Claus (Lydia Brazzi) and all the elves will be evicted, and he will seize all the Christmas toys.

So, it's up to Sam and Santa to find a way to pay off Prune and prevent Christmas from being cancelled forever.
