The Holly and the Ivy

“A LOVE STORY OF RARE QUALITY flavored with delightful characterizations and priceless humor.”

Jenny Gregory (Celia Johnson) has stayed home to keep house for her father, the Reverend Martin Gregory (Ralph Richardson), and wants to finally get away and marry. Christmas brings the rest of the family to the rectory, among them her sister Margaret (Margaret Leighton) and brother Michael (Denholm Elliott). George More O'Ferrall films it as a stage play, with the family gathered in the one house.
