Addie and the King of Hearts (1976)

[@lauragreaser3461]

Why can’t tv be like this now? This was so sweet.

[@traceybenna4150]

Shows like this are pure and innocent. Everyone is straight .

[@laminage]

It's because folks are more interested in Reality TV about Real Folks instead of something like this. I was a kid but i loved the commercial breaks in this special. I also loved the Hallmark movies and their commercials.

I was 10 when this came out. Even just the music brings me back to 1976.

One day I came across a video the house without a Christmas tree so I bought it. The title was familiar to me. My grandmother said her father wouldn’t let her have a Christmas tree and she brought home a cut off bottom part of a Christmas tree and put it in the stove pipe, but when her father came home, he took it out, threw it out. I love that program and now I just happen to come across these others and then will be happy to watch them. I enjoyed the simplicity.

One of The Happy memories of the 70 s great shows like this one and in my 20s

[@Bonanzagirl1995]

Finally I get to see this movie! My mom gave me the Addie Mills books she read growing in the 70s and I loved reading them, too. We always watch The House Without a Christmas tree during the holidays but it's fun to be able to watch the other movies as well :)

[@ruthwillard9216]

I loved the "Addie Books" and the TV movies made from them. When I was that age I wanted to wear my hair like hers and my first pair of glasses were just like Addie's. I'm so glad that these are available to watch.

My first time seeing this one it's so sweet ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@marymayer2282]

Happy to see this on utube haven't seen this in years always liked all The Addie stories well made well acted and always had some valuable lessons ❤❤❤❤

Love the way the dad gives Addie a dose of reality

Thanks for posting all of these. it's been a few years since I've seen the valentines one. I watched these when they first aired and have loved them ever since.

[@catholicfaithofmine2664]

I'm loving these series. So glad I found them.

Valentines Day is my favorite holiday. I won an art contest in the 4th grade.❤❤❤❤❤

[@conniedieudonne7681]

I love all these movies times we're so much better thank you for showing them it's my christmas present 🎁 ❤❤❤❤❤

[@donstamper7693]

This was one of the great family movies in all of the sequels were fantastic. Mildred Natwick added such a flavor to the character, such a warm and loving grandmother. I love this movie. I love all four of these.

[@spumonicherrykitty7507]

Ty for posting i have her christmas,Thanksgiving and Easter movies. I was not aware of this one. Ty

[@talkieful1710]

Oh thank you for putting this one up too! . I had not seen the Valentine one.! The thanksgiving treasure I watched last year, brought back so much sentimental memories when it air on CBS back in 73 when I was 10.Especially the scene with her Dad and her playing checkers. My Dad and I use to play alot!

[@bigredbu]

You are welcome! I grew up watching the Christmas and Thanksgiving ones, but the Valentines and Easter ones are new to me. I'll post The Easter Promise in March 😁

It wasn't until recently that these were based on books. I haven't seen them in over forty years. When I found House Without a Christmas Tree I was thrilled this hadn't been forgotten. I found all four available on DVD. I didn't realize that there were four of them.

[@DAquingil]

Thanks for posting this. I remember watching “The House Without a Christmas Tree” and “The Easter Promise” growing up, but I didn’t know about “Addie and the King of Hearts” or “The Holiday Treasure”. They used to show the Christmas movie every year, but I believe the other movies had just become forgotten memories. These movies have a sweetness that is sorely lacking in today’s films. It really brought me back to elementary school when all seven of my brothers and sisters and I would huddle in front of the tv and watch with our Dad. God bless and merry Christmas.

[@YourJellyFishAteMyTV]

Wow Thank you so much 💜💜💜

[@pop_o_matic]

The way it goes from paper cut-outs to a live scene with that sad music always creeped me out as a kid.

[@Sparkina]

When Danny told Addie she was just a creep, you can hear the Shatter! Splinter! Smash! as her heart shattered into a million pieces 💔 And again when she learns that Mr. Davenport is spoken for.

[@trinahaigler292]

Thank you so much for sharing this ❤

[@billhosko7723]

Oh! Honestly, I did not think I would get 'into' this one, but I was very wrong. Had never seen it until now. Am now 60! Absolutely heartwarming episode 4. So very well, produced by ALL involved. Cheers all

[@VivienneFinch]

Nice to see this. Brings back memories.🎉🎉

[@ClaireCopeland-n6y]

I had this book at about 11. Always thought i remembered a tv movie of it but was not sure. Looked it up tonight and there it was! Very sweet and true in many ways😊

[@Sparkina]

Danny Billings stood in for Billy Wild from the book. Also, Mr. Davenport’s first name was Douglas in the book and Charles in the show. Not that it matters. Just an observation.

[@60gregma]

I have always loved A House Without a Christmas Tree. The copy I had was pretty poor, so I ordered a twin DVD with the fore-mentioned title and The Thanksgiving Treasure. That was a new view for me and I really liked it, so I bought the second twin DVD containing this title along with The Easter Promise. I like them all. It would have been nice to see another installment or two. I think it would have been nice to see if James and Irene ever tied the knot. Addie would have gone nuts with the wedding preparations.

[@opybrook7766]

I have not seen this. But, my people would Never have a CHRISTmas Tree. We are Plain people that follow the Holy Bible. We are Mennonites and Amish

[@60gregma]

@@opybrook7766 Hilarious. Yet you "plain" people spend time surfing the internet? I thought that was a no-no.

[@cecemeyers6028]

I have never seen this episode, just the Thanksgiving and Christmas ones. Poor Addie, no self awareness. With that sharp-tongued and self-centered air, she’s so bossy and self righteous, hiding her insecurities. And the grouchy skinflint dad-no wonder Addie is like she is. Thank God for the sweet and dear grandmother. Don’t we all know people just like this? (Yes we do.) And that adults and kids would be at the same community event-the chaperones. Such rare and innocent fun, we’ve come way too far removed from those days, and traditions.

[@mariemadinger4997]

The substitute teacher mr. Davenport played on the Walton's

[@johnoconnor6356]

Bobby Brady was in this movie.

[@Queenie_78]

They must have remodeled. The bedroom was moved to off the kitchen, from off the living room in the house without a Christmas tree.

[@opybrook7766]

Absolutely NOT a perm!

[@marymayer2282]

It's been so long since I'd seen this I forgot how cute it was there are plenty of good movies for Christmas but not many for Valentine's Day the Many years I was single after My first marriage ended in divorce Valentine's wasn't that Big a deal since My remarriage has a whole new meaning

Looks like Diane Ladd might have recycled her costume from "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore".
