Holiday Affair (1949 Don Hartman & prod)

Can't find any source info on John Weaver's 'Christmas Gift' to see whether the whole story is in there, but in any event, Isobel Lennart's screenplay is beautifully done - Janet Leigh's mother remains self-deluded throughout whole film. Robert Mitchum, Wendell Corey and Gordon Gebert are the men in her life. They're all good. Use of model trains at beginning and end inspired as train set is major plot point, as is gaudy tie. I'm beginning to get it.

Harry Morgan is a sarcastic cop. It's shot by Milton Krasner and scored by Roy Webb (not that there is much music), for RKO.
