The Homecoming Reviews
Good story by itself, pales compared to series
This in itself was a good movie. Once the series came and the TV cast came into place it was obvious what worked. The story itself is a heartfelt tribute to the American spirit and American family as t once was. Maybe America needs another great tragedy that affects us all to get back to that American spirit that once claimed and made this nation so great. This takes us back to a time when American's cared for each other and cared about the surrounding world. Earl Hamner should have been a politician and then maybe those American values would mean something to modern America.
A Family Christmas Treat
This is a much more relevant precursor to THE WALTONS than SPENCER'S MOUNTAIN. It's a good story and an enjoyable introduction to the TV series. All of the characters from the series are present though the adults are mostly played by different people.
The time is Christmas of 1929. The country is in the grips of the great depression. John Walton has had to take work out of town in order to support his family in the Blue Ridge Mountains. He is trying to get home for Christmas and is overdue. There is a blizzard and the radio tells of a bus crash. All are worried as they await the return of the father. The oldest son, John-boy, is sent out to try and find him, having several adventures along the way.
There is nothing particularly exciting but it is wholesome, enjoyable and worth watching. The family comes together to take care of its own and do the best they can in trying circumstances.
