Short description

After the death of her sister and brother-in-law, Jules Daly takes on the care of her young niece and nephew, Maddie and Milo. Money is tight and her job situation is uncertain, so an invitation to spend Christmas at a European castle, sent by the children's grandfather, Edward, Duke of Castlebury, comes at a difficult moment. Jules accepts it largely for the sake of the children, even though she expects to feel out of place among aristocracy as an ordinary American.

The film follows the Christmas visit and a romance that develops between Jules and Ashton, the prince of Castlebury, which the duke opposes. Katie McGrath plays Jules, Sam Heughan plays Ashton, Miles Richardson plays the butler Paisley Winterbottom, and Charlotte Salt plays Lady Arabella Marchand du Belmont, with Travis Turner and Leilah de Meza as the children. Michael Damian directed from a screenplay he wrote with Janeen Damian, and both also produced the Italy and United States co-production. It was his third feature, after Hot Tamale and Flicka 2.

The film runs 91 minutes and combines comedy, drama, family and romance as a television movie. On IMDb it holds a rating of 6.3 from around 9,700 votes, while on TMDB the score is 7 out of 10 from roughly 414 votes. The audience scores from both sources are close, indicating a generally favourable response from viewers.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Castelberry Castle was filmed at Peleș Castle, northwest of the town of Sinaia, the summer residence of the Romanian kings. It is a unique castle in terms of its architecture, interior design, and the collections it houses.
  • The limousine in the film is a vintage Daimler manufactured by Jaguar.
  • While tying Milosh's tie, Jules says, "Watch and be jealous, Agent 007." Sir Roger Moore (1927-2017), who played the grandfather, portrayed Agent 007 James Bond in 7 films.
  • Lady Kristina, whom Roger Moore's character greets at the entrance to the ballroom, was played by the actor's wife, Lady Kristina "Kiki" Toolstrapp.
