Nothing brings the spirit of the season into our hearts quite like a great holiday movie. Turner Classic Movies’  Christmas in the Movies  by film historian Jeremy Arnold showcases the very best among this uniquely spirited strain of cinema. Each film is profiled on what makes it a “Christmas movie,” along with behind-the-scenes stories of its production, reception, and legacy. Complemented by a trove of full-color and black-and-white photos, this expanded volume is a glorious salute to a collection of the most treasured films of all time. Today, Larry sits down with Jeremy Arnold to pick apart what makes a Christmas movie, the role of television in establishing the genre, how the 1961 film noir “Blast of Silence” utilizes the holiday season, and much more.
