I&#8217;ve been reading several of her obits and they all put down Christmas Holiday. A great film she made with the brilliant director Robert Siodmak. In the film she plays a prostitute and Gene Kelly a dissolute killer that she falls in love with. I think this was too much for the audiences and the critics of that era. But why do contemporary journalists repeat this wrong headed opinion? Because the movie didn&#8217;t make a lot of money when it first came out? The same could be said of Charles Laughton&#8217;s Night Of The Hunter, which is now recognized as one of the greatest films of all time. Maybe critics should re-evaluate Christmas Holiday and give Deanna and Siodmak their due.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmforno.com\/?p=1407\"> Here<\/a> is a link to my piece on Christmas Holiday.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/35678710.jpg\" title=\"35678710.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/35678710.jpg\" alt=\"35678710.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As\u00c2\u00a0 a lot of you have heard Deanna Durbin has left this plane of existence.
