Movie Reviews of Christmas Holiday

Movie Review: A Christmas Noir
Summary: 3 Stars

I bought this some time ago and finally got around to watching it for THIS holiday season. Strange for Deanna Durbin, strange for Gene Kelly, and strange for a noir. I was sorry this dvd didn't have any commentary--I'd have liked to have learned the back story.

And what a bizarre title for such a bleak story!

This movie and "Lady in the Lake" are the only Christmas noirs that I can think of and for that reason "Christmas Holiday" is a must-have for fans of the genre.

Incidentally, the acting was great if a bit over the top at the end.
