| I saw the film decades ago on some cable TV station, possibly American Movie Classics when it was hosted by Bob Dorian. I taped it on VHS and watched it with my parents for years at Christmas time. The entire cast is perfect. I finally was able to preserve The Holly and the Ivy for good on my DVR when TCM began showing it a few years ago along with the '48 version of The Winslow Boy. That film also features a fine performance by Margaret Leighton. Another holiday semi-classic that TCM has unearthed is the '45 film The Cheaters, which had been out of circulation for many years. |

| I was just thinking of "The Cheaters" today, which I saw on TCM a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. Its cast, led by Joseph Schildkraut, Eugene Pallette, Billie Burke and Ona Munson (Belle Watling from "Gone With the Wind") is wonderful, and the film has quite a few fun twists. I'd like to see it again and hope that they show it this year. | |

| I saved The Cheaters on my DVR so I can watch it every holiday season. BTW, Raymond Walburn, who plays Willie Crawford, had a long career on Broadway, including the role of Erronius in the original A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Anne Gillis and David Holt, who play Angela and Reggie Pidgeon, were both featured in Selznick's '38 classic piece of Americana, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer as Becky Thatcher and Sid Sawyer. |
