A Merry Buffy Christmas. The final scene of 'Amends' presented as a 1940s style (fan-made) Christmas movie.

A 1940s made-for-TV Christmas movie? I don't think movies made for TV started until the 1960s. The song "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" did come out in 1944 in the classic musical film "Meet Me In St. Louis." Still, it was fun to watch this video.

Good point. I copied the description as it appeared on the video, but the description is more accurate now here.

This just made me a tad sad somehow..

If you edited out the USA Today newsrack and soft-focussed the automobiles and the sleeping bag, that footage could pass for the 1940s.

Beautiful. (I'm overlooking the sleeping bag.) ;-)

This is incredibly beautiful! I'm looking forward to my yearly Christmas tradition of rewatching Amends on the 24th.

I'm not even a fan of Amends, but that was adorable! I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Yeah, I found that very much of interest. Obviously the black&white and fake film scratches help, but it's interesting to see how classic-Hollywood Joss's style can be. Not totally--there are shots here that would feel very out of place in a film from the Golden Age of Hollywood. But especially the stuff on the mountain, including the crane shot moving from B&A to the town, felt very old-school.
