NewswireTODAY - /newswire/ - Cincinnati, OH, United States, 2006/09/26 - 'The Story of a Cowboy Angel' has been released on DVD and is available through Customflix.com or Amazon.com®. This release marks the 25th anniversary of the timeless Christmas classic.

“This film is about Christmas. Christmas Spirit and an Angel trying to earn his wings,” said actor-writer-producer Mark Miller about his reasons for re-releasing Christmas Mountain: The Story of a Cowboy Angel. “What has happened to Christmas films with heart, spirit and soul – that the whole family can watch?”

Christmas Mountain: The Story of a Cowboy Angel is a heartwarming Christmas tale featuring American leading man Mark Miller - writer, producer and star of SAVANNAH SMILES - and his boisterous comic-sidekick, the immortal, eternally lovable, Slim Pickens.

Imprisoned, down-on-his-luck drifter, Gabe Sweet (Mark Miller) is forced to seek redemption by undertaking a Christmas charity mission on behalf of the town. There's only one problem - the "charity" is as empty as the hearts of the townspeople themselves. But, with the help of a dearly-departed Angel wannabe (Slim Pickens), Gabe quickly learns that the ones truly in need are the ones who already have the most.

CHRISTMAS MOUNTAIN: THE STORY OF A COWBOY ANGEL classically captures the timeless magic and spirit of Christmas. In the vein of "Miracle on 34th Street" and "It's a Wonderful Life." It’s a journey of friendship, compassion and understanding - and along the way you learn what it means to be truly rich ... in spirit.

REVIEWS: "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." NEW YORK TIMES.
