INFO: "An office clerk loves entering contests in the hopes of someday winning a fortune and marrying the girl he loves. His latest attempt is the Maxford House Coffee Slogan Contest. As a joke, some of his co-workers put together a fake telegram which says that he won the $25,000 grand prize. As a result, he gets a promotion, buys presents for all of his family and friends, and proposes to his girl. When the truth comes out, he's not prepared for the consequences." - Written by Daniel Bubbeo on IMDB.com. STARRING: Dick Powell, Ellen Drew, Raymond Walburn, Alexander Carr and others. REVIEW #1: Title: "How a film ought to be made" [10/10 stars] "I'm a film buff...I watch movies of all sorts all the time. But 'Christmas In July' may well be my favorite film of all time. It is well-constructed, tightly executed, and just plain hilarious. I've never laughed harder at any film than I did during the seen where Dr. Maxford gives Jimmy the check." "As always, Bill Demerest is great. The entire cast shines in this film. I'd advise anyone striving to become a writer/director of films to study this film. This is how it ought to be done." - Written by "P-Sprout" on IMDB.com. REVIEW #2: Title: "Glorious" [10/10 stars] "Sturges's directorial effort is astonishingly funny. He creates such winning characters and then does such terrible things to them! It's amazing how he is able to walk a tightrope between satire and sentimentality. The Sturges company is in place already, watch for Walburn as Dr. Maxford, everything he says is a marvel of pomposity! Powell and Drew make an appealing working-class couple, yearning to be together, but lacking the funds to get married. You will laugh, and you will be sucked into Jimmy's plight! Modern comedies could learn from Sturges, Stevens, Capra, et al.; it's fun to laugh at, and with, people that we like..." - Written by "David Fiore" on IMDB.com.
