Music: Kidiscography, 1960
(3 of 3)
A Christmas Memory (Truman Capote; United Artists). A U.S. Southland equivalent of Dylan Thomas' A Child's Christmas in Wales that is every whit as good, indeed a minor modern masterpiece. Cousinly confederates, a woman in her 60s and a boy of seven celebrate the season in the preaffluent society of three decades ago. The woman is slightly daft and wholly generous. The boy is a boy. Their life is a touching mixture of the funny, the poignant and the evocative. With his reedy voice, Author Capote is a doubtful choice to perform his own work; yet he breathes regional life into it, and the region is the human heart.
