First part from the movie "Christmas Holiday"(1944)with Deanna Durbin,Gene Kelly,Dean Harens and more others... "Christmas Holiday",directed by Robert Siodmak, is an interesting drama with "film noir" elements, (based on the story by W. Somerset Maugham which changes the local from Paris to New Orleans)... Deanna Durbin's long awaited dramatic role, with two songs thrown in for good measure, might have earned her an Academy Award nomination. A nice film and it is nice to see Deanna Durbin shed her little girl image for something with a bit of a bite to it. She plays a singer in a nightclub and is married to Gene Kelly. He's highly believable in an exceptionally unsympathetic role. Gale Sondergaard is his mother. Deanna gets to sing two songs. Early on we get "Spring will be a little late this year", which is a slightly jazzy torch song, and later in the film, "Always", beautifully and wistfully delivered by Deanna...
