Hollywood Christmas story that isn't at all slushy, Isobel Lennart wrote it (as well as the fabulously named 1952 Skirts Ahoy!) from John Weaver's story 'Christmas Gift'. Great cast of Mitchum, a young Janet Leigh, Corey Wendall and Gordon Gebert as the boy, with Harry Morgan as a judge. Lots of nicely played long takes perhaps need more editing, as it's a bit static.
Very nicely lit by Milton Krasner; music by the always reliable Roy Webb.
