Kyle M Dec 23 The childlike innocence that purify Christmas morning is the sole manifestation through this familiarly formulized love story, also christened with a tenderly thoughtful screenplay and sweetened performances to elevate this acceptably small holiday cheer that progressively improves. (B) See more J E Dec 10 Such a wonderful Christmas film, fabulous acting and script - real feel good film! See more Len R 12/24/2024 Steve (Robert Mitchum) has virtually no noticeable redeeming qualities, and yet the film asks us to root for his character to win over Janet Leigh, at the expense of poor Carl (Wendell Corey), who does nothing to deserve his fate. The filmmakers needed to either infuse Mitchum’s character with more positive qualities, or Corey’s character with more obvious flaws. I will not be watching this film again. See more Judith C 12/17/2023 romantic and child friendly-good acting with a moral to the story See more Joel H 11/03/2023 I think the reason Holiday Affair didn't work for me is that they didn't get the romantic comedy formula correct. It's a lopsided love triangle. The filmmakers try to force you into liking Steve Mason (Robert Mitchum), even though there's not really a reason to want Connie Ennis (Janet Leigh) to choose him over Carl Davis (Wendell Corey). In fact, I found myself liking Carl more as the movie went on and liking Steve less. Plus, the plot is about as thin as Christmas wrapping paper. There were moments of this movie I enjoyed, but I can definitely see why this is not considered a Christmas classic.
