Holiday Affair (1949)

Tis the season.

* * * SPOILER ALERT * * *

I was thoroughly enjoying this Christmas extravaganza until young Timmie, the wonderful little boy and star of the movie, stuck his finger into a lightbulb socket and electrocuted himself. Barely able to contain themselves, the remaining acting professionals were soon able to brush the tragedy off and carry on, regardless. R.I.P. Timmie and the fucking train set.

I hasten to add that what the purveyors of the Hayes Code forced on the producers and Janet Leigh’s breasts was horrendous. Her breasts were spread so far apart to minimize them that she couldn’t cross her arms in front of her.
