Hence, the house without a Christmas tree - and Addie's crafty yet always thwarted means of getting her dad to let one glow in the living room. But what distinguishes this poignant tale (written by Eleanor Perry from the story by Gail Rock, and directed by Paul Bogart, one of the All In the Family sitcom directors) is that it avoids the patented feel-good denouement of most Christmas dramas and takes us through a richer, more believable change in Robards' character.

"His is a darkly comic and unsparing view of human nature," says Gail Kern Paster, director of the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington.
