Lol, here, in April of 2021, I'm watching a Christmas movie of all things. But proudly to say, it was more than well worth it. So charming. Love the warmth and generosity that's portrayed here. And omg, what a most beautiful, gorgeous humongous home they lived in. Such huge large windows, doors, and most beautiful winding of a staircase. The butler and maids definitely have their work cut out for them, trying to keep the whole house clean and kept up.

[@sharmainhayward927]

I enjoy the movie so much, miss the old movies.

[@ricepritchard1770]

The Cheaters is an excellent Christmas movie. When I was a child this was shown every year during the holiday season. I wish someone would upload the English film classic "The Holly and the Ivy" which also used to be shown every year in December, but is almost never shown on broadcast or cable tv anymore. They have worn "It's A Wonderful Life" out with endless re-broadcasts.

[@russellgrenning1317]

This 1945 movie starred Joseph Schildkraut (18986 - 1964) and was re-released in 1949 as The Castaway. It was a regular film at Christmas on TV in the USA all through the 1950s to the 1970s. Schildkraut, now largely forgotten, was a silent era star who successfully transferred to talkies. He won the Oscar for his role in The Life of Emile Zola (1937) and a Golden Globe nomination for playing Otto Frank in The Diary of Ann Frank (1959) - he also appeared in that role in the stage production. In 1962 he won a Primetime Emmy for his appearance in an episode of the TV series Sam Benedict. His last film, released after his death, was The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965).

[@appledoreman]

[@artroraback8663]

This is an absolutely delightful movie! I've never been disappointed with anything that Eugene Pallette or Billie Burke appeared in. A terrific cast makes this well worth watching! Thanks for sharing this.

[@jmccracken1963]

This was actually the third-to-last film which Eugene Pallette made, though he would live another 9 years. (He made two more films in 1946, and that's all she wrote for his movie career.) The tipping point was when 20th Century Fox fired him from "In The Meantime, Darling" the year before, because of his openly racist behavior (toward Clarence Muse in particular) early in the filming.

[@thraciangrapes]

Ona Munson was of Irish and Swedish heritage. Very beautiful, she bore a strong resemblance to Marlene Dietrich. Thank you for the upload. I set a goal for myself to watch as many Christmas movies as I can every winter. 🎉

Amazing, the number of positive reviews. I don't have cable, never have had it, so I had never heard of or seen this movie before, I assumed from the title that it had to do with marital infidelity. I therefore looked it up on Wikipedia just before starting to watch. According to Wikipedia, this movie had a somewhat lukewarm reception when it debuted. It was criticized for wasting a fairly talented cast of actors. IMHO, this picture might have fared better if Paramount, the studio that was originally set to produce it, had put their name on it. Instead, it was produced by Republic, one of its few deviations from WESTERNS and serials. The production itself looks like an adapted stage play, but apparently was not, I loved the story by the way. I can almost imagine today's Hollywood trying to update this scenario...and totally ruining it. Wikipedia calls this a screwball comedy, I don't think that I would agree with that description. There were no crazy car chases and no rapid fire dialogue with characters talking over each other. But it is a pretty decent movie. Unfortunately, my favorite post WW II (?) Christmas movie will always be Christmas in Connecticut.

[@TJames1081]

this was a lost movie for many years. i did see it on very late-night tv in the 80s but was not able to find it on DVD till 2 years ago. TCM showed it last year, but it's not on their schedule this year. I have always LOVED IT - thank you so much for sharing !!!!

The days when bully's ruled by fear inside them, would pause on beating up some poor kid in order to stand upright and open the door while saying "Good morning Miss Applebalm!" only to shut the door and have the boys get right back to beating up each other. Those were the days of white picket fences where even adults liked playing pretend, as they did when they pretended to have perfect families and perfect children and the feeling of fear including being embarrassed by their kid doing something that was no big deal, but not fearful of being a a curmudgeonly father
