Movie Reviews of Holiday Affair
Movie Review: Undiscovered Holiday Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Undiscovered by most, but luckily discovered by me this Christmas. I love old movies for their glimpse back in time, the clothes, the way they talked, the integrity that people tried to live by. While some old movies have bland plots that don't keep my interest, this did because of the depth of the screenwriting and insight into what's important in life. I'll watch this again year after year!
Summary of Holiday Affair
DVDOne of the lesser holiday movies, this 1949 comedy stars Janet Leigh as a war widow who can't afford to buy her son a toy train for Christmas. A veteran (Robert Mitchum) who happens to be standing by in a department store overhears her plight and offers to purchase the toy, thus setting into motion a series of funny complications. Wendell Corey plays Leigh's suspicious, condescending boyfriend, whose jealousy compounds Mitchum's problems, and Harry Morgan is very good as a night-court judge trying to make sense of everything that happens. The movie didn't do so well at the box office at the time of its release, but it has gained an affectionate fan base over the years. Don't expect Miracle on 34th Street, but as a spirited lark for Yuletide, this is a lot of fun. --Tom Keogh
