Lady on a Train (1945) – Rewatch

On her way to New York to spend the Christmas holidays, mystery lover and debutante Deanna Durbin witnesses a murder outside her train car. Since no one else believes her story, she then devotes her time to solving he crime with the occasional help from mystery writer David Bruce. The main character is quite flighty and the film is not a particularly Christmas-y tale, but it is a cute, relatively light mystery flick. Although Durbin was famous for her singing voice, I find the few songs ridiculously shoehorned into the movie and now fast forward through them on every rewatch.   Holiday  Mystery
