8/10
Sweet-hearted and funny; a winning combination
20 December 2015
Now here's an offbeat Christmas classic which must be rediscovered. Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray are a pickpocket and district attorney who reluctantly fall in love over the holidays.

It's so nice to see a film with so much warmth, humor, and good will. I know miserable families technically make for much more interesting stories, but I adored seeing the tenderness and strong bonds between MacMurray's character and his family, and the way it radiated onto Stanwyck's lady thief.

Absolutely recommended by me, though with Stanwyck in the line up, I shouldn't have to tell you twice, right?
