This was fun. It was very cool to see that the Biltmore is managed by Jonathan Frakes and the would-be "bad guy" is Robert Picardo.
But nothing in this film is about Star Trek NG. It's about old Hollywood and time travel. None of it is plausible. And it's adorable.
I especially love Kristoffer Polaha as Jack. He might not look like actor Jack Carson, but he's got Jack Carson's character down. He's totally believable for a man in the 1940s, and he is a different type of guy than you usually see in Christmas romances. He and Bethany Joy Lenz make a great couple. I rarely watch Hallmark films, but I would watch this one again.

I didn't know anything about William Faulkner's short story when I began watching "A Rose for Emily." Angelica Huston, John Randolph, and John Carradine, with a few more Hustons involved, seemed like a good bet. But while I watched it, I had more questions than answers. I had a feeling a bit more info would keep it from feeling so flat to me.
Sure enough, Faulkner's short story has many more details that might have helped flesh it out. I think I would have enjoyed a slightly longer version with more of the written story included. This short film seems more about creating an atmosphere than plot.
