Christmas Holiday 1944

Directed by Robert Siodmak | Starring: Deanna Durbin, Gene Kelly, Gladys George, Richard Whorf

Don't be fooled by the title. Christmas Holiday is a far, far cry from It's a Wonderful Life. Told in flashback, the story begins as Abigail Martin marries Southern aristocrat Robert Monette. Unfortunately, Robert has inherited his family's streak of violence and instability, and soon drags Abigail into a life of misery.
