Christmas Classics: Holiday Affair (1949)

Robert Mitchum plays against type in this family Christmas charmer about a young war window and single mother Connie (Janet Leigh) whose stable calm life is tossed upside down when she accidentally gets store clerk Steve (Mitchum) fired from his department store job, leaving him homeless and penniless in NYC for the holidays.

Connie's feelings for lawyer Carl (Wendell Corey) get seriously questioned, as you can imagine, except that Carl is fun, good looking, kind and does absolutely nothing wrong, but ends up being the punching bag the entire movie for no reason at all. I'm team Carl here, but the film was fun and cozy anyway.

Kicking off the Christmas season with Holiday Affair was definitely a good idea.

R/V/B AU + THE SEASONS. for @tortoisesshells!

sing, muse, of the king of oil drums and automobiles; sing of his wife in the arms of the sun; sing of summertime on the road to hell, of lovers that take each other by the hand, and dance underneath the sky.

HOLIDAY AFFAIR, 1949 Robert Mitchum was the most liberated spirit I had ever come across before. The first time I saw him, he was exiting his dressing room playing a saxophone, with his entourage in tow, and the whole group paraded around the lot. A lasting impression! He was so relaxed you thought he just might topple over. And those half-mast bedroom eyes just added to the image. But all of this was deceiving, because, once at work, he was such a professional, competent actor. How he loved to tease me! - Janet Leigh on Robert Mitchum
