Never Say Goodbye (1946) – Rewatch

At Christmastime, little Patti Brady is set to make her six month switch from living with her father, Errol Flynn, to moving back in with her mother, Eleanor Parker. During the switch-off, it’s obvious the adults have feelings for each other, but unfortunately Flynn’s womanizing ways rear their ugly head. He is not deterred by this nor the various other obstacles (another love interest for his former wife, a visiting Marine who his daughter has less than honestly been corresponding with) that get in his way. It’s a very sweet Christmas time romance. Patti Brady is cute as the precocious and adorably named Flip. Despite the somewhat stalker nature of the role, Flynn is impossibly charming, whether dressed in a Santa suit or displaying his Humphrey Bogart impersonation.
