Once Upon a Sleigh Ride: The Music & Life of Leon Anderson (2000)

This charming documentary explores the life and music of Anderson through interviews with those who knew him – colleagues and family – alongside archival footage featuring Anderson himself and musicians from different eras, including Arthur Fiedler and Judy Garland. The film reflects on the decline of traditional American music and argues that the country has suffered as a result. Leonard Maltin, June 9, 2001.
