The Thanksgiving Visitor



TV family film. Story Truman Capote
Year: 1967
Year in film: 1932
Country: USA
Who in bibs: boy Odd 12, men
Available on DVD: yes *
I own: no
Clothing occurrence: low
Rating:  7/10
Rating: *******
Comment: At least one boy called Odd, Character is 12 yo, actor looks a bit older to me faded bibs. Also scenes at school (including a girl in a sailor dress or suit). Set in Alabama during the Depression. Scene at 8 minutes (also good rear view and fighting on the ground). At least 3 men in similar bibs at the beginning.

Completetly on YouTube but in quite bad image quality, from a VHS source. (I have optimized the colors on pic 1.) Movie is maybe into Public Doman and there are several DVDr offers (in unknown, but probably bad quality as well). The novel and movie is a sequel to "A Christmas Memory" which is also available on DVD, and based on Capote's childhood memories; the main character is a 7 yo boy (not in bibs).

Starring Geraldine Page who won an Emmy in this.

I only found few bibs scenes.

Rating 5-6 for now. (Needs to be rechecked at slow speed and for better image quality and the prequel and stage plays as well).
New pic 1 has photoshopped better color. Pic 2 is from the original clip on YouTube.

One mentioning in the short story "sweaty cast-off". I didn't had the time to read it completely. Completely read quickly. No more scenes.

Update: Also on a climbing contraption. Rather rating 7 now.
