The post George Kaczender – Agency (1980) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Description: After his family is murdered in the 1880s, orphan Jeb Rand (Robert Mitchum) is raised by the Callum family on their nearby horse ranch. He remains haunted by this childhood trauma in a recurring nightmare of flashing spurs and confinement inside a trap door as his family is slaughtered. Widow Callum (Dame Judith Anderson) does her best to make Jeb feel loved as he is growing up, but the young man stubbornly maintains a sense of his own identity. While he has great affection for his foster-sister Thor (Teresa Wright), his relationship with her brother Adam (John Rodney) is tenuous at best, especially when Jeb blames him for shooting a colt that he was riding. Although Mrs. Callum blames the incident on deer hunters, she is aware that the it was actually the attempted murder of the youngster by her brother-in-law Grant (Dean Jagger), a shadowy figure who, for vague reasons, is determined to harm Jeb. Jeb loses a coin flip with Adam, and becomes the designated family volunteer to fight in the Spanish-American War. Jeb returns a hero, but does not find happiness. Although Thor loves him, Adam is resentful about sharing the farm’s profits, and the omnipresent, enigmatic Grant remains at the fringes of Jeb’s life, waiting for a chance to revenge himself on the young man in some mysterious vendetta as Jeb continues trying to exorcise his demons.

Quote:
Nothing like a love triangle to spice up Christmas, right? Don Hartman’s Holiday Affair delivers that and…well, not much else, but it’s still an enjoyable romantic comedy that’s fallen well under the radar during the last 70 years. At the center or if all is young widow Connie Ennis (Janet Leigh); she lives with her precocious son Timmy (Gordon Gebert), works as a comparison shopper, and has been dating lawyer Carl Davis (Wendell Corey) for two years. After a mistake almost costs Connie her job, she’s saved by clerk Steve Mason (Robert Mitchum)… that is, until he’s promptly fired for not calling her out. Nonetheless, their resulting afternoon is spent together and she takes a liking to the smooth- talking war veteran, who also leaves quite an impression on little Timmy. Carl, of course, is skeptical.

The fallout from their brief encounter leads to all sorts of polite but simmering comments from Carl. He proposes marriage to Connie and she finally accepts, with both actions clearly stemming from Steve’s entrance: he’s got to claim his territory, and she feels guilty for flirting with another man. Steve doesn’t give up; instead, he delivers an expensive Christmas gift for Tommy — a train set the young boy has wanted for months — which seems innocent enough, but Carl takes it as another way to buy their affection. The difference is that unlike her well-to-do fiancée, Connie’s mystery man barely has enough money to eat. She’s now torn between the aloof kindness of Steve’s gesture, the more stable but rigid prospect of domestic life with Carl, and her son, who needs her now more than ever.
It’s a dependable recipe for soapy drama — at least more than expected for a film categorized as a romantic comedy — and on that front, Holiday Affair delivers the goods. This is largely due to strong and well-cast characters: everyone is perfectly suited to their role, and even young Gordon Gebert steals many a scene as young Timmy. Several stand-alone moments also leave quite an impression, none more so than the painfully awkward Christmas dinner where Steve lays his feelings bare in front of the entire Ennis family… even the parents of Connie’s late husband. Yet the film’s much more scattered second half spins its wheels an awful lot, with more than a few late encounters stemming from fragile coincidences and silly or mawkish fare that wouldn’t feel out of place in a wooden Hallmark drama. Holiday Affair rallies in the home stretch for a decent send-off but, as a whole, it feels more like a loose collection of good-to-great scenes stitched together by a meager plot that struggles to maintain momentum even at just 87 minutes.

From one perspective, Holiday Affair is obviously an attempt to recapture the magic of then-recent Mitchum hits like Rachel and the Stranger (also featuring a love triangle) and, of course, 1947’s smoldering Out of the Past. And while it doesn’t quite have the impact or staying power of either of those films, Holiday Affair is still worth (re)discovering on Warner Archive’s new Blu-ray, which serves up yet another top-level 1080p transfer, lossless audio, and a few light but appreciated extras. If nothing else, it’s a solid second-team pick for your Christmas movie rotation.
