Christmas Eve Edwin L. Marin

In the tradition of Miracle on 34th Street and It' A Wonderful Life comes Christmas Eve. When the unscrupulous Phillip Hastings (Reginald Denny, Rebecca) attempts to declare his eccentric Aunt Matilda (Ann Harding, It Happened On Fifth Avenue) incompetent in order to swindle her out of her savings, it's Matilda's three adopted sons Michael (George Brent, The Kid From Cleveland), Mario (George Raft, Some Like It Hot) and Johnny (Randolph Scott, Trail Street) to the rescue in the heartwarming comedy, and a film for all seasons, Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve was written for the screen by Laurence Stallings (adapted from original stories by Stallings and Richard H. Landau) and photographed by Gordon Avil (The Champ) with art direction by Ernst Fegte (The Lady Eve).
