You get the feeling
watching this film
that the cast really enjoyed themselves making it.
Robert Mitchum and Wendell Corey spar verbally brilliantly
and there's a fine supporting cast including a very young
and entertaining Harry
Morgan, later of M.A.S.H. fame.
There are several memorable scenes
( by the Christmas tree, the courtroom, the Christmas lunch )
and the picture is a joy.
Originally titled "Christmas gift".
Directed by
Don Hartman
This is a great " feel good" comedy.
