'Christmas Mountain: The Story of a Cowboy Angel' is a 1981 Western film about the true meaning of the Christmas spirit. Starring Mark Miller of 'Savannah Smiles' and Slim Pickens in one of his final roles, the film was originally produced and released in 1981. The original 16MM master was then lost for 20 years. Jack Evans, a partner and financier of the original film, eventually regained possession of the master. It was digitally remastered by Victory Studios of Los Angeles in 2008, and is now available on DVD.
A review of the original release in 'The New York Times' said, "This heartwarming Christmas tale contains a western twist as it tells the tale of a heavenly cowpoke who rides down to earth to ride herd on a few people in need of some miracles."
