I saw this with my brother when I was about 5 years old. For years I thought I imagined the whole thing, that there was no such film. As a person with Asperger's Syndrome, whose main focus was on films, Christmas film matinees were my favorite part of X-mas. There were a couple of other Santa movies that I had seen around that time and can't remember the names. But I remember the Matinees my brother took me to around the season including the following: _Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol/Scrooge (Albert Finney) and a couple of Looney Tunes shorts. _The Christmas That Almost Wasn't (an Italian production made by and starring Rossano Brazzi, who financed this with money he made from starring in "South Pacific". _Santa Claus (1959), made and produced in Mexico then distributed to American cinemas via The late great K. Gordon Murray.This film was given the special treatment on Mystery Science Theater 3000. _Santa Claus Conquers The Martians-this film featured a very young Pia Zadora. I loved the campiness of it. _Santa And The Three Bears, which was a cute animated film. During those years, my local cinema showed Saturday and Sunday Noon matinees. I saw such great kitsch as : The Three Fantastic Supermen Jack And The Beanstalk (Now available on Sommething weird Dvd) K. Gordon Murray's films: Tom Thumb Puss 'N' Boots Little Red Riding Hood And The Monsters as well as actioners/sci-fi : _The Three Fantastic Supermen _Godzilla Vs. Megalon et.al.
