Holiday Affair (1949)
Movie
Released
A Christmas shopping encounter unsettles a war widow's careful plan for herself and her son. Robert Mitchum's uncharacteristically relaxed romantic presence gives the film a different flavour from the more ceremonious holiday classics. Toys, temporary retail work and the question of who belongs at a family gathering keep Christmas central. Choose it for a modest, gently bittersweet romance that allows a new beginning to feel risky.

About Holiday Affair
Just before Christmas, department store clerk Steve Mason meets big spending customer Connie Ennis, who's actually a comparison shopper sent by another store. Steve lets her go, which gets him fired. They spend the afternoon together, which doesn't sit well with Connie's steady suitor, Carl, when he finds out, but delights her young son Timmy, who quickly takes to Steve.
