"This Italian film, "Il Natale che quasi non fu" ("The Christmas That Almost Wasn't") isn't a very good movie. However, at least it's not at the bottom with such godawful films as "Magic Christmas Tree", "Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny" or "Santa Claus" (1959)! In its own way, it's not entirely terrible. The film was made in Italy with mostly Italian actors and was directed by Rossano Brazzi and also stars Brazzi as the villain, Phineas T. Prune.

💡 Did You Know?

The movie was shot without live sound. While most of the actors mouthed or read the script in English, in the American version all of the Italian actors, except for Rossano Brazzi, had their voices dubbed by someone else, so that their accents would not show up. Brazzi, who appeared in many American films, is the only Italian who speaks English with his native accent.
