CAST Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray, Beulah Bondi, Elizabeth Patterson, Willard Robertson, Sterling Holloway

When shoplifter Stanwyck gets pinched for lifting a diamond bracelet during Christmastime in New York, it’s assistant D.A. Fred MacMurray’s job to send the third-time offender to the big house. With the case postponed until after Christmas, MacMurray floats Stanwyck bail money so she can go home for the holidays—with him, it turns out. Misadventure, mirth and a little holiday magic bring the two together, but there’s still that day in court. –AFI

Complete opposite of Double Indemnity. A cute little romantic comedy with a few dark streaks. Barbara Stanwyck had such range.

A wonderful Christmas film written by the great Preston Sturges. Although it may not maintain it the whole way through, in my opinion the first 30 minutes or so of this are as good as the best Preston Sturges-directed work that would be made in the next decade.
