Holiday Affair

Harry Morgan, or Colonal Potter had a small role in this. However, the movie was good and Robert Mitchum proved that he could play more than just a thug. I enjoyed the way he delivered his lines as well as the other man who was also in love with the same woman. THe best part was when the other man, talked to his fiance as though he were reading a divorce petition.

This really is a nice, little Christmas movie that gets very little airplay. Still waiting for it to make it to DVD. No big musical numbers or production standards, just a simple story about a young widow (Janet Leigh) and her son and how their lives turn upside down once Christmas season when a rather aimless drifter (Robert Mitchum) enters the picture. Some very good supporting actors throughout. Skip the remake. It does play from time to time (Turner Classics), so if you get a chance, watch it...don't expect that much, just a warm little picture, like a nice hot cup of coffee on a cold winter night. With all the crap that has become annual Xmas "Classics"...this one is just patiently sitting on the shelves...waiting. It really deserves it.

This is truly a nice Classic film because of Robert Mitchum and Janet Leigh appearing and giving a great performance. Robert Mitchum,(Steve Mason), "The Locket", plays a down on his luck guy who meets up with Janet Leigh,(Connie Evans),"Strictly Dishonorable" and seems to fall in love with her on first sight. However, Wendell Corey,(Carl Davis),"The Rainmaker", is her boyfriend for over two (2) years and wants Connie to marry him. Connie has a cute small boy who loves his mother very dearly but seems to be a good match maker. There is plenty of humor and some drama. Harry Morgan,(Police Lt.) "Crosswalk" gives a great supporting role. This is a nice old time Christmas story about a woman who is caught between two lovers. Enjoy

Christmas is six months away from now, but I felt to comment on this film now. Holiday Affair is one of the best holiday films out there. Janet Leigh and Robert Mitchum are perfect as the widow and unemployed store clerk, plus the boy who plays Leigh's son performance in the picture is excellent. This film shows the true spirit of Christmas during the holidays. A film not to pass up during any time of the year especially on Christmas.

A Christmas story about a woman, recently widowed, her young son and, two men who have fallen in love with her and the boy. Robert Mitchum and Wendell Corey are excellent. Also, look for veteran actor Harry Morgan who plays a police lieutenant. I had the pleasure of meeting Wendell Corey when he visited the Marine Corp. hospital in Phi Bai, Vietnam in 1967. He was a caring and personable man and I will always remember his kindness.

Bright and engaging holiday-themed romantic comedy has single mom Janet Leigh wooed by two men over the holidays: devil-may-care Robert Mitchum (who really does have a sardonic demon in his eyes!) and staunch, dull Wendell Corey. Poor Corey really has a thankless role here, not only playing the third wheel but berated for it as well; still, he plays dishwater-dull to perfection and his voice of reason would surely give Leigh cause to second-guess her heart. Surprisingly quirky film isn't the least bit obvious or clichéd, and Janet's screen-relationship with Gordon Gebert, the likable youngster playing her son, is very well handled. Top-notch writing, directing and acting; a gem. ***1/2 from ****
