Christmas Eve (1947)
Directed by Edwin L. Marin
“'Tis six months before Christmas. But all through the nation Celebrations are starting... HERE'S YOUR INVITATION!”
Comedy, Drama · 1h 33m
The greedy nephew of eccentric Matilda Reid seeks to have her judged incompetent so he can administer her wealth, but she will be saved if her three long-lost adopted sons appear for a Christmas Eve reunion. Separate stories reveal Michael as a bankrupt playboy loved by loyal Ann; Mario as a seemingly shady character tangling with a Nazi war criminal in South America; Jonathan as a hard-drinking rodeo rider intent on a flirtatious social worker. Is there hope for Matilda?
