The Holly and the Ivy

With Christmas imminent, recently widowed village parson Martin Gregory (Ralph Richardson) was particularly looking forward to the holiday visit from his three grown children (Celia Johnson, Margaret Leighton, Denholm Elliott). However, each had their own piece of difficult news to share--and didn’t know how to break it to a father they felt gave more attention to his parishioners than to them. Long-sought seasonal drama from the Wynyard Browne play co-stars John Gregson, Hugh Williams. 80 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English; audio commentary; theatrical trailers.
