Holiday Affair (1949)
Janet Leigh and Robert Mitchum
Just before Christmas, department store clerk Steve Mason meets big spending customer Connie Ennis, really a commercial spy. He unmasks her but lets her go, which gets him fired. They end up on a date, which doesn't sit well with Connie's steady suitor, Carl, but delights her son Timmy, who doesn't want Carl for a step-dad. Standard (if sweet) romantic complications follow.
**Trivia Question for Today: At the time of filming Holiday Affair, Robert Mitchum was contracted to RKO Pictures. According to Robert Osborne, Howard Hughes, the head of RKO, had Mitchum take the part to repair his image after his arrest. What was Mitchum arrested for?
Trivia Answer for Previous Post: American Film Institute Catalog of Feature Films 1931-1940 claims that, except for Double Indemnity (1944), this was Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray's only joint screen appearance. Fact is, they also co-starred in The Moonlighter (1953) and There's Always Tomorrow (1956).
