This year's holiday themed movie is "Holiday
Affair," an unjustly neglected romantic comedy from 1949 starring Janet
Leigh as a war widow who can't afford to buy her son the toy train he wants
Christmas. Robert Mitchum, in a departure from his usual tough guy roles,
overhears her plight in a department store and offers to purchase the
train—which sets into motion a series of comical complications. Wendell Corey
plays Leigh's jealous boyfriend. A charming black-and-white film for those with
a sense of nostalgia or in the mood for a heartwarming Yuletide treat. Tuesday,
December 11, 6:30 p.m. Punch and cookies will be served.
