Just before Christmas, department store clerk Steve Mason meets big spending customer Connie Ennis, really a commercial spy. He unmasks her but lets her go, which gets him fired. They end up on a date, which doesn't sit well with Connie's steady suitor, Carl, but delights her son Timmy, who doesn't want Carl for a step-dad. Standard (if sweet) romantic complications follow.
主演演得没有可信度，各自念完对白，像彼此没有任何关联。相比之下正大剧场好看多了。
★★☆陪我度过了无所事事的周日中午。
情节简单且老少咸宜的圣诞爱情片难得写得这么不侮辱智商，对白灵动，人物既可爱又情感逻辑清晰，charming到让我有心情为Corey的角色不值。
7/10。女主角为单亲妈妈的设定在那个时代的爱情片中还是比较少见的，主角三人都是正面塑造，没有因爱情纠葛产生狗血的爱恨情仇，小男孩也挺可爱，但是流浪汉谋杀案有些多余。影片最佳的一幕是结尾两人双向奔赴的横向运动镜头。（p.s.男二好像Joel McCrea。）
编剧台词写的不错 男二真是Nice Guy,爱情 婚姻 家庭 男一是一阵见血的透彻 连小朋友都突然变懂事 妈妈变得有点快 还挺有趣 40年代的爱情片比现在狗血剧好看得多 Anyway Merry Christmas！
