- What is The Man Who Came to Dinner / Holiday Affair about?
THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER, 1942, Warner Bros., 112 min. Dir. William Keighley. Monty Woolley reprises his Broadway role as an acid-tongued New York critic who breaks his leg in front of an Ohio family's home. Forced to remain immobile while he recuperates, he takes over the household during the holidays, bringing in his secretary (Bette Davis) who promptly falls for a local newspaperman (Richard Travis). With poisonously funny dialogue.
HOLIDAY AFFAIR, 1949, Warner Bros., 89 min. Dir. Don Hartman. Beautiful Janet Leigh from a rival department store inadvertently gets soft-hearted sales clerk Robert Mitchum fired. When the two end up on a date right before Christmas, Leigh's boyfriend (Wendell Corey) gets suspicious. But Leigh's young son is delighted because he doesn't want Corey as his stepdad. A charming little holiday chestnut, this was one of actress Leigh's favorites among her work.
