Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThere were no commercial interruptions during the actual play. All commercials were presented before the play began and after it had ended. This was extremely unusual at that time, both for "Studio One" and for a commercial network program in general.
- Quotes
Mary: God will us guide, full well wit ye; / Therefore, Joseph, be of good cheer. /For in this place born will he be / That shall save us from sorrows here /Both even and morn. /Sir, wit ye well the time is near/ He shall be born.
Joseph: Then had we better bide here still,/ Here in this same place all this night.

Very Hard to Watch
I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 Christmas MOVIES.
BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I AM HONEST! I REVIEW Christmas MOVIES AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN!
From Westinghouse Studio One, this is the story of the courtship of Joseph and Mary, and of the events leading up to the first Christmas.
This title is in public domain. That is too bad. I would love to see a good print of this. The dialog was inspiring. The version I saw felt "Incomplete"
There is not a production they sank lots of money into. That's too bad. They might of had something!
