Book Vs. Movie: Christmas on the Square
Dolly Parton’s 2014 song Vs. the 2020 Netflix Movie


"Christmas on the Square" is a 2020 movie based partly on Dolly Parton’s 2020 “Blue Smoke” album with the track “Try.” Directed and choreographed by Debbie Allen. The story revolves around a “Scrooge” character, played by icon Christine Baranski, who seeks to evict everyone in her hometown and sell off to Corporate Mall Overlords. Parton plays the angel prepped to save her and be a source of inspiration to everyone else. It won the 73rd Annual Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie.
