Seven-year-old Phillippa "Flip" Gayley (Patti Brady) wants a family...her own. So she plots to get her divorced parents, who love her (and secretly each other), back to the altar. Will she succeed? Well, just take a glance at the title. Errol Flynn and Eleanor Parker play the parted parents in a warmhearted romantic comedy made merry with a dash of Christmas fun, including Flynn padded out as Santa in a farcical mistaken-identity scene with another Santa.
Other complications include a curvaceous model (Peggy Knudsen) with her eye on Mr. Gayley and a strapping Marine (Forrest Tucker) who thinks Mrs. Gayley is his secret pen pal. Never underestimate the power of a precocious seven-year-old!

I had a very good time with this film. I was thinking that this was the type of film that would be labeled "for connoisseurs." Errol Flynn has an entertaining role, but truly remarkable are his confrontations with his ex-wife, brilliantly portrayed by Eleanor Parker. The film is carried by them and their daughter in the film and is good and funny.
