"Holiday Affair" is a black-and-white 1949 light romantic comedy film starring Robert Mitchum and Janet Leigh. This modest film, directed and produced by Don Hartman, saw Mitchum expand from his typical roles in film noir and war films. Set during the Christmas season, the film became a minor holiday classic, though it has since been forgotten and is less well known as other films, such as "It's a Wonderful Life".

In recent years, TCM (Turner Classic Movies) have revived the film during the Christmas season, and it has once more become something of a minor Christmastime classic.

Plot

Steve Mason (Robert Mitchum), a veteran and drifter employed as a clerk at a department store, is fired after letting widowed comparative shopper Connie Ennis (Janet Leigh) return a toy train set. Mason ultimately buys the train for Connie's son Timmy (Gordon Gebert), and the unemployed Mason and the widow gradually fall for each other. Complicating their love, however, is Connie's wealthy but impassive fiancee (Wendell Corey).
