Product Description

Just before Christmas, department store clerk Steve Mason (Robert Mitchum) meets big-spending customer Connie Ennis (Janet Leigh) who is really a commercial spy. Steve unmasks her duplicity but when he discovers that Connie is a war widow he feels sorry for her and with the spirit of Christmas in the air and goodwill to all people, Steve decides to let Connie go. But his kind-hearted decision rebounds when the company fires him before the Christmas holiday. When Steve and Connie end up on a chance date, Connie's steady (Wendell Corey) is not impressed but her son Timmy (Gordon Gebert) is delighted. With her wedding booked for New Years day, can Connie choose between the safe yet dull Carl, or the handsome but unpredictable Steve Mason?

5.0 out of 5 stars Holiday Affair 3 Nov 2010
By niloc
Format:DVD
This is one of those ageless films which quite frankly,cannot but please 100%. It is a film which leaves the viewer happy,contented and at peace with the world! Over the top with this review? Not a bit of it. If you want to buy a DVD which will entertain,and where the story line just takes you along to a happy ending,this is a 'must'!!! A Christmas setting; a little boy who would love a toy railway set; Robert Mitcham and Janet Leigh both at their peaks as film actors...who could ask for anything more. Just get it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant 24 Nov 2010
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
A wonderful movie, all you need at Xmas is this and 'Its a Wonderful Life' and you've cracked it. I've been awaiting this release for ages. Robert Mitcham and Janet Leigh are superb and for once Wendell Corey is just right as the miserable boy friend. Buy it, this is one of the few 10 star movies.

4.0 out of 5 stars A little gem 14 Jun 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
An RKO Radio picture from 1949 made on a minuscule budget, but stylish and thoroughly likeable. From the witty opening of the title sequence, where you think that's a rather crummy model, to the inevitable ending, it's a lot more entertaining and says a lot more about human relationships in 87 economical minutes than most of the Hollywood fodder that's produced today.

Nice relaxed acting not only from the three stars (though it was a bit of a stretch of the imagination to see Robert Mitchum as a shop assistant), but also from all the supporting players. Director Don Hartman (who was usually the writer rather than director) gets a sweet performance from child actor, Gordon Gebert, who, unlike many of his contemporaries, is still with us.

The film is in black and white, the picture quality is very good and the sound good. Minus point: there are no subtitles for the HOH.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holiday Affair-(The Hollywood film.)
Robert Mitchum has long been one of my favourite Hollywood stars. "Holiday Affair" shows a lighter side of his acting talent but is nevertheless classic Mitchum. Read more
