Review - Christmas in July
Light, silly and sorta cute. It does give a good picture of what life was like in 1940.

| Description: | Jimmy MacDonald (Dick Powell) loves Betty (Ellen Drew) but doesn't want to marry her because he's poor. But when he gets a telegram informing him he's won $25,000 in a coffee slogan contest, life changes. His boss starts listening to him and gives him an office. He buys gifts for his family and friends and buys Betty a ring and a fur. But then his buddies at work admit that they sent the telegram as a joke. The store wants its goods back. Jimmy has to tell everyone and almost gets fired. But Betty talks the boss into giving him a chance in his new position. And then he finds out he won the contest after all. |
