An Original Vintage Theatrical Mini Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 8" x 14" [20 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) W. Somerset Maugham's Christmas Holiday, the 1944 Robert Siodmak romantic love triangle crime film noir ("Durbin... In her most dramatic glory!"; "Lovely!"; "Flaming"; "Brilliant!"; "Dramatic..."; "Love... Was her crime! Love... Was her punishment!"; "Durbin... In her most dramatic glory!"; "As written for the screen by Herman E. Mankiewicz"; based on the novel by W. Somerset Maugham; with music by Irving Berlin; about a troubled young woman who thinks she met the man of her dreams, and they marry, but before long, she learns that he is both a psychopath and a degenerate gambler, and their lives really spiral downward after he kills his bookie) starring Deanna Durbin, Gene Kelly, Richard Whorf, Dean Harens, Gladys George, Gale Sondergaard, and David Bruce. Note that both Durbin and Kelly made a major attempt to break out of their stereotyped characters they had played in the past, and both of them had dramatic roles in this ultra downbeat film noir movie, and Kelly played a psychopathic murderer (perhaps it was because Universal did not want viewers to expect a "Gene Kelly musical" that they did not depict Kelly on the style D one-sheet poster at all!)
