Holiday Affair is the Christmas season romance of a young widow and a sales clerk who (thanks to her) is unemployed.
I love this film and I
am so pleased to have unearthed a previously undiscovered gem.
Robert Mitchum, Janet
Leigh and Wendall Corey are the stars of this delightful little film which all
centres around an expensive train set.
Janet Leigh has been
left a single mum after her husband was killed in the war and works as a
comparison shopper when she inadvertently gets Robert Mitchum fired from his
job in a department store.
The story then unfolds
in a classic love triangle after Mitchum is invited to Christmas dinner with
her son and fiancé (Corey).
The eventual outcome
is rather predictable but is managed in such an engaging way that you don't
feel disappointed.
This movie is a charming example of an un-clichéd Hollywood holiday movie.
