The Cine-Files' Steve Morris and John Rocha wrap up their special three day deep dive into the best of the Rankin/Bass Christmas Specials with 1974's THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS. Directed by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr., the special is based on Phyllis McGinley's book and stars Shirley Booth as Mrs. Claus, Mickey Rooney reprising his role as Santa Claus, Dick Shawn as Cold Miser, and George S. Irving as Heat Miser. Steve and John go scene by scene thru this wonderful Christmas special and explore why it still endures as a Christmas classic all these years later.
