The idea of casting Robert Mitchum as a genuinely decent man in a Christmas-themed romantic comedy sounds too unlikely to be something that could happen. But it did! After an infamous arrest for marijuana in 1948, his home studio of RKO decided that some image rehabilitation was in order (though the publicâs appetite for his films both before and after suggested they neednât have worried), and thought
Holiday Affair would be the perfect vehicle. Though the film lost money in its original release, it has gained a following in later years due to television re-airings, and Mitchum obviously continued on with great success. And if itâs not at the very top echelon of holiday classics, the chance to see someone like Mitchum lend his weight to this kind of project gives it an enduring appeal.
