Light, mildly amusing holiday fare. The plot is simple, and most of the characters seem pretty generic. It lacks sizzle and sharpness of wit from other movies of this type, but it does have its moments between Barbara Stanwyck fumbling around with the baby and flirting with Dennis Morgan. "Do I attract you?" she asks looking up into his eyes. Her reaction to the "nice, firm rump" line in the barn is pretty funny too. I enjoyed it as a Stanwyck fan and for S.Z. Sakall's Hungarian character, but if you're new to old movies, wouldn't recommend starting with this one, since it just doesn't have a lot of punch to it.
