Gigolo and drifter Chance Wayne returns to his hometown as the companion of a faded movie star, Alexandra Del Lago, whom he hopes to use to help him break into the movies. Chance runs into trouble when he finds his ex-girlfriend, the daughter of the local politician Tom "Boss" Finley, who more or less forced him to leave his daughter and the town many years ago.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The plot summary for 'Sweet Bird of Youth' indicates a drama centered around a drifter, a faded movie star, and small-town political tensions. There is no mention of Christmas setting, plot relevance, themes, iconography, or resolution connected to the holiday."
