This gem serves as the prototype for countless romantic comedies in which unlikely couples are thrown together in the warm glow of the holiday season. Superstars Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray worked together for the first time, along with a standout cast. Preston Sturges’ script is both funny and touching, offering just the right dose of nostalgia without spinning into sentimental fantasies about romantic and familial love. Chet and Dee will try to convince you that this film has more to offer than the typical holiday fare—and it’s available on TCM this December.
