Live at Montreux 1981 [DVD]

The precocious six-year-old Manhattanite of Kay Thompson's beloved Eloise books gets into the holiday spirit while playing cupid in this made-for-TV comedy. Eloise (Sofia Vassilieva) resides at the Plaza Hotel with her parents, and like much of the hotel staff she's excited about the upcoming marriage of Rachel Peabody (Sara Topham), the daughter of the hotel's owner, to handsome Brooks Oliver (Rick Roberts). However, Eloise learns that Brooks's motivations for marrying Rachel are not sincere, and so the youngster tries to sway Rachel away from her fiancé and towards Bill (Gavil Creel), a good-hearted waiter in the hotel's restaurant. Eloise at Christmastime also features Julie Andrews, Jeffrey Tambor, and Christine Baranski.
