While working she overhears a noisy argument in the neighboring house, being conducted largely in German and involving her HUAC prosecutor. She begins to investigate, enlisting the help of the FBI Agent initially detailed to surveil her.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie is a political thriller centered on the McCarthy era in 1951. There is no indication from the provided plot summary or standard genre knowledge that Christmas plays any role in the setting, plot, themes, or resolution. Therefore, it does not qualify as a Christmas movie."
