...main plot is arch, the subplot is fallen-arch. A coolheaded, busy, busy, busy Macy executive (Janis Paige) has been burned on the matrimonial altar and has sworn off men. Her next-door neighbor is an ex-marine (Craig Stevens) who has sworn off women in favor of his true love, the law. Fortunately, Divorcee Paige has a little daughter, an agnostic city tot who does not believe in Santa Claus. Lawyer Stevens undertakes to cure her unbelief. Does anyone hear those jingle bells turning into wedding bells...
...result was another world mark: 8:03.7. The overwhelming U.S. team margin: 63 points, to Japan's 22.
