THURSDAY MOVIE CONNECTION. Every Thursday in 2012, I am connecting movies through actors.
In honor of Alfred Hitchcock's death on April 29, 1980, April is dedicated to Hitch, and all my favorites.

Holiday Affair, 1949
Director: Don Hartman
Stars: Robert Mitchum, Janet Leigh, Wendell Corey
Connie Ennis (Leigh) works as a competitive shopper to support herself and her son Timmy. While out doing some holiday shopping, Connie buys a train, and when she returns it the next day, the salesman Steve (Mitchum) doesn't turn her in for what he knows she is. He loses his job because of it, finds her leaving the store, and takes her out to lunch. They have a great time, and then he helps her shop, loses her in a crowd, and later finds her house and stops by to drop off her things. He walks in on her and her gentleman friend Carl (Corey), decorating the Christmas tree.
Suddenly, Connie has two men who want to marry her for Christmas! Who will she choose??
This is so sweet! I love Robert Mitchum in it. :)
