As of this writing, this rare film is not available on commercial video and is sold for very high bidding prices on auction sites so only a few with deep pockets have seen it. Durbin fans don't waste the bucks, the odds of you finishing this tripe is even rarer than the film itself. If you are looking for dark Durbin watch Lady On A Train again, Christmas Holiday (despite it's title) is pitch black. The title is misleading since the film is neither Merry (as in Christmas), nor a Holiday. Fortunately there were better films to come in her short career.
