Holiday Affair
This 1996 made-for-television movie is a remake of the 1949 classic starring Robert Mitchum and Janet Leigh. DJE played the role of Steve Mason, an idealistic young stockbroker who decided that there was more to life than material wealth. He quit his job, and was working as a salesman in the toy department when Jodie (Cynthia Gibb), comes looking for a toy train for her advertising company two days before Christmas. Jodie is a widow with a young son (Tim), and a lawyer suitor (Paul). Steve falls in love with Jodie, but she is looking for security, and decides to accept Paul's marriage proposal instead of taking a chance on Steve. However, fate keeps intervening to keep Steve in Jodie's life. With some heartfelt advice from both Tim and Paul, Jodie finally decides to follow her heart.
