I saw this film as a teenager in the early 70's, and only recently saw it pop up on the grid on TCM. I did recall parts of it, but had to watch it again. Right from the get-go, the movie starts off with cheesy acting and scenes. The dad holding Christmas boxes just right as he talks on the phone. Who does that? It's the definition of "corny". The movie is watchable if you like watching bad acting. It reminds me of "Mystery Science Theater", in that they show a really bad movie, but you still have to watch it and see if it gets worse. I gave this a 3 star as, seriously, you can't give it anything higher. Dana Andrews at his best.
