A Holiday for Love

A hard-nosed businessman returns to his home town in Nebraska bearing bad news - there are to be large-scale redundancies at the factory which supports most of the families in the area - but as the season of goodwill draws near, he finds himself falling in love with a member of the workforce. It's a sweet and harmless enough idea and on-screen chemistry between the leads gives it a bit of extra impact, but it still isn't enough to stop it feeling flat and lacking festive cheer. Drama, starring Tim Matheson, Melissa Gilbert, Michelle Trachtenberg, Jack Jessop, Bernard Behrens and Gordon Pinsent
