A film with trains, a child in danger, and Janet Leigh shoving cash at a salesman might sound like a Hitchcock production. But Holiday Affair is more curious—a light-hearted Christmas story that doesn’t quite keep out the chilly uncertainties of the postwar era. In this FilmScene 101, we explore Holiday Affair’s unusual emotional register: a dash of melancholy with the merry, achieved through savvy casting and the distinct stylings of the RKO studio.
