Family
Members assemble to celebrate Christmas in the home of their widowed father,
Rev. Martin Gregory (Ralph Richardson) in a quaint English village where his
daughter Jenny (Celia Johnson) keeps house for him.
They
are joined by his other daughter Margaret (Margaret Leighton), son Michael
(Denholm Elliott), Aunt Lydia (Margaret Halstan) Aunt Bridget (Maureen Delaney)
and family friend Richard Wyndham (Hugh Williams).
They
all present themselves as well met but deep secrets are hidden on the pretext
that the Reverend wouldn't understand “because he's a parson”
But
of course nothing can be kept hidden for ever so the truth begins to be
revealed bit by bit in a memorable crescendo.
John
Gregson also stars as Jenny’s love interest in this wonderful real Christmas
story about real people in an emotional roller coaster that leaves you wanting
more.
