That's a lovely classic Christmas tree. It reminds me of the Christmas trees that we grew up with in the 1970s & 1980s -- that craze for aluminum trees was strange & in the 80s those fake trees looked like crud.

Dennis O'Keefe was a heavy chain smoker in 1949. I bet that he was one of those Golden Age actors who smoked in almost every scene because they didn't know what to do with their hands.
