Tom Rath is a suburban father and husband haunted by his memories of World War II, including a wartime romance with Italian village girl Maria, which resulted in an illegitimate son he's never seen. Pressed by his unhappy wife to get a higher-paying job, Rath goes to work as a public relations man for television network president Ralph Hopkins. Drawn into poisonous office politics, Tom finds he must choose his career or his family.
Editor's Verdict
"The plot summary provides no indication that the story occurs during the Christmas season, centers on Christmas themes, or utilizes Christmas iconography. It is a mid-century drama focused on postwar trauma, career choice, and marital strife."
