Two tv movies from the 70s that I like and don't see anymore are "The Homecoming," which was the pilot to The Waltons, and "The house Without a Christmas Tree," which took place in the 40s, I think. It starred Jason Robards as a depressed widower, living with his daughter and mother. He's still grieving and won't allow a tree in his house since his wife died, much to the dismay of his young daughter.
