I fell in love with the original version of this movie starring Robert Mitchum one Christmas when it was broadcast on TV. Last year I saw this version with one of my favorite actors - David James Elliott - Harmon Raab from JAG. This version is a very good update to the original. The storyline and characters were very believable. I couldn't believe the price increase for the train though! If you need a holiday fix or want to spend a few hours enjoying a nice old-fashioned movie, watch this one during the holidays. Enjoy! Happy Holidays!

Updated to current day, but still just as charming and enjoyable as the original. Elliott and Gibb are believable in their attraction, and the young actor who plays "Timmy" is engaging. It's nice to see a movie where the only villians are human foibles, and all the characters are likeable.

I saw the original version of this movie starring Robert Mitchum years ago. I saw the updated version last year and just watched it again. Holiday Affair is a sweet, romantic story. The updated remake is just as sweet and romantic. The actors in both versions all do a great job. Heartwarming fluff....the best kind!

I look forward to this every year and I would like to buy a copy. Unfortunately, none are available.

Story of a young single mom and her son. She's having a hard time getting over the death of her husband and has been dating a young attorney. She meets another young man who sells her a toy train for use in her job but her son thinks it's for him for Christmas.
The funniest scene occurs when the man who sold her the toy train is accused and arrested for something he did not do. The single mom is asked to come to the police station to clear up the story. Her attorney boyfriend goes with her to help out. The detective asking questions has great dry humor.
It all works out in the end. A fun story.

I saw this on cable recently and truly enjoyed it. I spent about 3 weeks trying to track it down on video.

Very enjoyable movie. I thought Cynthia Gibb was great in her role. It's a nice family movie. For me, it was a must-have.

Good movie, good theme. Movie is clean and moral. Highly Recomend. I do not know how it compares to orignal, but the re make is a great, funny, inspirational movie.

This is by far one of my most favorite movies. I could watch it year round. It's a good clean movie, so it's one the whole family can watch. I only wish they would put this version out on DVD.

Cute movie, one worth watching at least every Christmas. It shows a lot about character and caring for others. I wish it was on DVD instead of VHS.

The main character of this movie is sexy and handsome. The chemistry between the two main actors is confincing. GIves hope to single women as well as single mothers that you can find true love anywhere. Also, don't settle.
