## Description

Christmas means Santa in his sleigh Scrooge visited by ghosts and Clara's enchanted journey to the Nutcracker's kingdom. Tchaikovsky's beloved holiday ballet comes home with sumptuous sets and costumes and the dazzling dance artistry of the New York City Ballet's Melissa Hayden, Edward Villella and Patricia McBride. Eddie Albert narrates the story of young Clara, who receives a Nutcracker doll as a Christmas gift, then dreams a magical dream: the Nutcracker comes alive and whisks her through a realm of wonders to the palace of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Originally seen by U.S. TV audiences in 1965, this version of The Nutcracker is now ready to become a holiday tradition for you and your family.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE NUTCRACKER  1965 TV SPECIAL
*by J***M on April 13, 2013*

I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS ON TV IN 1965 AND IF MY MEMORY IS RIGHT IT WAS SHOWN FOR THREE CHRISTMAS SEASONS. I WAS VERY HAPPY TO SEE THIS RELEASED ON DVD, FOR THIS WAS A GREAT MILESTONE IN 1965. I REALIZE THE COMPLETE BALLET WASN,T PERFORMED ON THIS PRODUCTION. BUT IT BROUGHT A GOOD SAMPLE OF THIS BALLET TO THE 1965 AUDIENCE. SO DON,T BE CRITICAL TO COMPARE THIS VERSION TO THE ONES THAT WAS BROADCAST LATEREVEN THOUGH THE PICTURE QUALITY IN NOT LIKE TODAYS STANDARDS , THIS IS A MUST HAVE.JIM

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful short rendition.
*by G***S on January 13, 2013*

I have been looking for this version of the Nutcracker for nearly 20 years. I remember watching this as a child and it was this production that introduced me to this wonderful work. I cannot give this 5 stars because honestly it was 1965 and we have all become spoiled in the years since and expect too much. This still has the charm I remember, and the narration makes it a presentation of the Nutcracker that even very young children can understand. Delivery was as promised and the product fully met my expectations.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This version takes me back to my youth.
*by J***N on April 3, 2013*

I was thrilled when I found a copy of this 1965 version of The Nutcracker with Edward Villella and Patricia McBride. The picture isn't all that great, but who cares. I felt that the dancers had never danced in front of TV cameras before and were uncomfortable. But for me, being able to see The Nutcracker for the first time because of television was a thrill. If you are a collector, this is a must-have.
