I've always suspected there was something out of place with this movie. A film about Santa Claus, from the producers of Superman, and Santa isn't even the Lead Role in the Movie. The plot is about Dudley Moore.
Produced by Ilya Salkind from SUPERMAN I & II with THE DEVIL Terrance Stamp from TEOREMA, THE COMPANY OF WOLVES, and SPIRITS OF THE DEAD: TOBY DAMMIT.
Starring Dudley Moore from BEDAZZLED, the original one from the 1960s, about a man who sells his Soul to the Devil in exchange for Seven Wishes and they all go wrong. That explains this movie right here.
John Lithgow is the villain from the cursed film TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE, and he was in ALL THAT JAZZ which features Roy Scheider conversing with God while he passes away on the operating table. Bye Bye Life. If you want to go a bit further, John Lithgow was in RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES with James Franco from the DEMONOLOGY film THIS IS THE END.
Burgess Meredith, playing an Ancient Elf here, also played THE DEVIL in the Amicus Anthology film TORTURE GARDEN. They produced the original TALES FROM THE CRYPT film from 1972. Additionally, to TORTURE GARDEN, the Wraparound Storyline involves a Wax Figure of Atropos the Goddess of Fate with her Shears to Cut the Thread of Fate. Basically, she's the Greek Mythology version of Skuld from Oh My Goddess.
OR, David Huddleston was in JOE'S APARTMENT, the first MTV movie about singing dancing cockroaches which is an entirely new Hell on Earth in itself to watch, not because of the singing cockroaches, but because it features Jerry O'Connell in a Leading Role. Jerry O'Connell was in JERRY MAGUIRE with Tom Cruise from LEGEND with THE DEVIL Tim Curry.
And finally, you've got actor Peter O'Farrell who was also in LEGEND with THE DEVIL Tim Curry.
