Finding John Christmas (2003) with Peter Falk
This is another RARE Christmas movie. This is part of a trilogy that is impossible to find. This is the 2nd film of the trilogy. Please see my other videos for the 1st and 3rd.
Peter Falk is featured in the trilogy of Christmas TV movies in which he plays Max, the underestimated angel that works to bring people together for the holiday.
All three movies are uplifting Christmas stories that include the angel Max who usually takes on several guises to provide the main characters the support and encouragement they need to do the right thing. There’s usually a touch of magic and the feeling of fate’s hand guiding people in the right direction. Falk’s Max is eccentric, all-knowing and persistent–not unlike Columbo. It’s a real treat to see his familiar face and his way of doing what he does best–in these feel-good holiday stories.
The second in the series of three films is 2003’s Finding John Christmas which stars Valerie Bertinelli. In this story, a photojournalist snaps a photo of an anonymous man, down on his luck at the holiday, which runs in the local newspaper.
Kathleen, played by Bertinelli, recognizes the photo as her long lost brother and contacts the journalist. The public is moved by the photo in the newspaper and there’s a movement to find the stranger in the photo labeled ‘John Christmas.’ Unfortunately, he doesn’t want to be found.
