Review of Christmas in July (1940) by Nandi C — 07 Sep 2007

This is a short little film, but once you leave it, you can't help but love it. Anyhow, Dick Powell plays this man who wins a contest, where the prize is $10,000. OK, not bad potatoes now, but back in the Depression, that's a WHOLE lot of bread.

Talk about happy, but see here's the catch, when he won, the whole thing was meant as a practical joke which to me, isn't but ok. Now Powell and his girlfriend goes out and buy up some stuff. They go back to the neighborhood and buys the whole block gifts and toys.

Watching that block come out and cheer on Powell to me is the whole movie by iteslf, but of course, the joke comes to light, but the last laugh as Sturgis always delivers comes defnitely to the intended.

One great movie. just a 85min one. worth the wright in gold.
