Synopsis
Holiday Affair (1949) is a Christmas romantic comedy with Robert Mitchum and Janet Leigh that you can watch online on iFILM. Connie Ennis is a young war widow raising a six-year-old boy and quietly working as a comparison shopper — buying toys, returning them, reporting rival prices for a living.
A week before the holidays she crosses paths with department-store clerk Steve Mason. He sees through her racket with the toy train set but rings up the refund anyway, and loses his job for it. One afternoon together throws everything off balance. Connie has a reliable suitor, Carl, and a New Year's wedding five days away. Her son Timmy, though, has already decided Steve is the one he wants around.
Director Don Hartman keeps it warm without sliding into syrup, and the ending isn't quite the one you'd bet on. The real surprise is Mitchum: the brooding star of so many film noirs plays this one loose and gentle, and that against-type charm is reason enough to press play.
