Santa Claus. [videorecording] by Schwartz, Alan J.;
His roots are firmly planted in religious ground, yet he has become a symbol of the secular side of the Christmas celebration. Despite the commercialization, he remains a symbol of what is worthwhile about the holiday season: generosity, kindness and good will to men. Santa Claus has enjoyed a long and fruitful history, though perhaps not as long a one as some might imagine. Though the name of "St. A Claus" appears in print in America as early as 1773, he took familiar and lasting form with the publication of 'The Night Before Christmas' in 1823. From his origins in 4th-century Turkey to modern big-screen incarnations, follow the tracks of "eight tiny reindeer" deep into the heart of this beloved icon. Track his many incarnations and ongoing evolution, and see how the jolly gift-giver has been embraced by people and cultures the world over.MPAA rated: NRDVD

Why To kill a mockingbird matters : what Harper Lee's book and the iconic American film mean to us today / by Santopietro, Tom,author.(CARDINAL)477764;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 239-291) and index.With forty million copies sold, "To Kill a Mockingbird's" poignant but clear-eyed examination of human nature has cemented its status as a global classic. Tom Santopietro's new book takes a 360-degree look at the Mockingbird phenomenon both on page and screen. Santopietro traces the writing of "To Kill a Mockingbird," the impact of the Pulitzer Prize, and investigates both the claims that Lee's book is actually racist and the worldwidecontroversy surrounding the 2015 publication of Go set a watchman. Here too, for the first time, is the full behind-the-scenes story regarding the creation of the 1962 film, one that has entered the American consciousness in a way that few other films ever have. From the earliest casting sessions to the Oscars and the 50th Anniversary screening at the White House, Santopietro examines exactly what makes the movie and Gregory Peck's unforgettable performance as Atticus Finch so captivating. As Americans yearn for an end to divisiveness, there is no better time to look at the significance of Harper Lee's book, the film, and all that came after.Monroeville, Alabama -- Manhattan -- Publication -- What price Hollywood? -- Atticus Finch on film -- Enter Horton Foote -- Casting the movie -- From Pulitzer Prize to Hollywood dream team -- Maycomb comes to life -- On screens around the world -- A straight shot to the heart -- Is To kill a mockingbird racist? -- The legend grows: Harper Lee's fifty-five years of silence -- Life after To kill a mockingbird -- Go set a watchman -- Theme and variations: everything old is new again -- At peace.
