I couldn't imagine another well scripted, light-hearted holiday fare than this vehicle for the lovely and talented Ms. Stanwyck coming off of "Double Indemnity".
With a healthy comedic antidote by S.C. Sakall aka 'Cuddles' , and an assist from Dennis Morgan and a relative newcomer in Sidney Greenstreet, (fresh off of 'Casablanca', the story opens with a WWII sea battle.
I watch this every season and then, on DVR and highly recommend this film for all audiences. Off to flip my flapjacks. .
