The Christmas Kid

The Christmas Kid (also known as Joe Navidad)[1] is a 1967 western film directed by Sidney W. Pink and distributed in America by Troma Entertainment.

In a small western town in Arizona called Jaspen, a boy is born on Christmas Day.

At first, Joe works for Mike Culligan (Louis Hayward), the richest man in town.

Joe tells his girlfriend, saloon girl Marie Lefleur (Perla Cristal).

Marie wants to leave the saloon, but Mulligan, the owner, won't give her the money he owes her.

She decides to leave the town for good and try to be an honest woman in that city, but says to Joe that she'll be always waiting for him.

The film ends with Joe coming back to his town followed by a group of townspeople who support him.

The website Once Upon a time in a Westen commented "The result is a so-so Western where the Biblical references are plainly obvious at the beginning and end (there’s even a Judas and a sort of crucifixion scene).
