Holiday Affair (1949)
Country: US
Technical: bw 87m
Director: Don Hartman
Cast: Janet Leigh, Robert Mitchum, Wendell Corey
Synopsis:
A war widow bringing up her young son clings to the ideal of her first marriage while hesitating between an old lawyer friend and a serendipitous encounter with a footloose boatbuilder.
Review:
All bundled up in a neat little framing device involving a toy train, this archetypal Christmas tale has charm in abundance, whether in the deft playing of the two rivals or in the relatively inexperienced Leigh’s affecting portrayal of her single mum’s predicament. One of those well oiled studio packages that delivers its story with minimum trimmings and padding.
