It’s a filmed production but there’s something inherently theatrical about
Winter Wonderland. Films have a habit of providing visuals that theatre regulars may find somewhat unnecessary. It isn’t sufficient in a motion picture, for instance, to simply have X sat at an agreed meeting point, waiting for Y. The film must show a clock ticking the minutes and seconds away, or perhaps completely over-exaggerate the point with an image of plants growing or the passing of the seasons in some way. There’s none of that here, with background images that set the scene appropriately enough without overdoing it. In other words, less is more.
