Amazon.com:
One 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

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - I guess I’m in the minority here
I guess I am in the minority here, but I couldn’t get into this movie. I love Christmas movies and movies from this era but this movie didn’t click with me. The acting isn’t bad, but the suiters for our heroine’s hand didn’t seem convincing and the son, Timmy, just seemed squeaky and annoying.

If you want a great Christmas movie from the 40’s, try Christmas in Connecticut! My whole family loves that movie!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Fine Romance
Ostensibly this is marketed as a holiday film but it’s appeal is for all seasons. How rare a romantic film involving a love triangle where all the principals are full-blooded characters. We naturally root for the Robert Mitchum and Janet Leigh characters to connect but we have more than a dollop of sympathy for Wendell Corey. Some comic elements but the film smacks of romantic drama. As a bonus Harry Morgan has a terrific bit as a harried police lieutenant. Highly recommended. Torn between … Read More

I love this version. There is one before it, and one after it, but this is the best.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic Film Finally On DVD
Finally On Dvd!!! I Love Everything About This Film….Robert Mitchum Is Wonderful,Handsome And Always A Terrific Actor!!!!! Great Addition To My Holiday Movie Collection!!!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - a sweet little holiday movie
Holiday Affair is a gem — hardly ever broadcast on television, though for the life of me I don’t know why not.

It’s sweet without being saccharine and a terrific old black-and-white film to watch with popcorn and your C7 Christmas-lit tree in the background…
