Frank Galvin is a down-on-his-luck lawyer and reduced to drinking and ambulance chasing, when a former associate reminds him of his obligations in a medical malpractice suit by serving it to Galvin on a silver platter—all parties are willing to settle out of court. Blundering his way through the preliminaries, Galvin suddenly realizes that the case should actually go to court—to punish the guilty, to get a decent settlement for his clients... and to restore his standing as a lawyer.
Editor's Verdict
"The only indication of a Christmas connection is the 'Holiday Release' note, which refers to the theatrical release date, not the narrative content. The plot revolves entirely around a legal drama and personal redemption, with no discernible setting, plot reliance, thematic connection, iconography, or resolution tied to the Christmas season."
