RKO's resident "bad boy" Robert Mitchum (Out of the Past) surprised audiences with his softer side in this classic Yule-themed romantic comedy. Mitchum portrays Steve Mason, a department-store clerk who loses his job, yet buys an electric train set for a child he scarcely knows. It must be Christmastime. Robert Mitchum and Janet Leigh are warmly matched in Holiday Affair, a seasonal favorite scripted by Isobel Lennart (later to adapt Mitchum's The Sundowners) and directed by Hope/Crosby "road movies" veteran Don Hartman.

Me neither. I thought it was another one of those RKO titles that had problematic elements (it might still be because they didn't say it came off a new 4K master). A couple years ago I saw a screening at a repertory theater that played 35mm or 70mm prints if they were available to them. They were clearly projecting it off a DVD; I don't think people seemed to notice.
