"5.4 Yhdysvallat/Sturges Amerikan Lasse Pöysti, emeritus pallinaama Dick Powell osallistuu Sturgesin melkein lyhärissä pitkässä elokuvassa kilpailuun, jossa haetaan kahvifirmalle slogania.

"Preston Sturges' utterly charming second film as director, 'Christmas in July' is one of Sturges' most appealing hidden gems. Eschewing the pratfalls and goofballs of his more famous work in favour of a small, humanist story, 'Christmas in July' is still unmistakably a Sturges film in the way it takes one small event and allows it to escalate completely out of control. Dick Powell and Ellen Drew are suitably folksy as young office workers Jimmy and Betty who dream of being able to afford to get "
