Plot Summary for:
Warm December, A (1973)

Dr. Matt Younger (Poitier) and his daughter (Curtis) arrive for a month-long visit to London for dirt-bike racing and unexpectedly, a new romance for the widowed Dr. Younger. His new love interest is the beautiful and playful Catherine (Anderson) who seems to enjoy eluding Dr. Younger as much as she enjoys eluding the mysterious men who are following her. Their romance develops gradually as does the viewers' understanding of what is going on with this charming woman and the complications* she brings with her.

*These complications are due to the fact that Catherine has sickle cell anemia, and the mysterious men following her are hired by her very protective father.
