      Trevor is from Gladwyne, which does not have passenger rail service, and catches a train back there from Center City Philadelphia. The SEPTA passenger train to Norristown runs on the opposite side of the Schuylkill River and his parents would have had to pick him up in Manayunk.

    This will tug at your heart strings.

    The comments from viewers on this site says it all. Sob! This is a touching and endearing movie that will leave a lump in your throat. Fred Savage plays a role not very different from Wonder Years, but it is the performance of Hume Cronyn as the homeless man with a big heart that deserves grand applause. This movie makes you remember that there are others out there who's got it worse -- whether they deserve it or not. Give them a thought when you are nestled in your warm home everytime you celebrate Christmas.

    An excellent well directed TV movie that tugs at all heart strings, no matter who you are.
