Christmas in Connecticut (1945)
Member Rating:  
War hero Dennis Morgan becomes the object of a publicity stunt staged by magazine publisher Sidney Greenstreet. The corpulent print mogul announces that Morgan has won a Christmas dinner, to be prepared by the magazine's housekeeping expert Barbara Stanwyck in her own Connecticut home. The catch: Not only does Stanwyck not have a home in Connecticut, but she's never been in a kitchen in her life! She also doesn't have a husband (as her articles claim), so Stanwyck's erstwhile beau Reginald Gardiner is pressed into service as the hubby. As for the cooking, that will be handled by master chef S. Z. "Cuddles" Sakall. This solves everything, right? No way, Jose. Long dismissed as a lesser film farce, Christmas in Connecticut has its own irresistible charm, and has in recent years become a perennial Christmas TV attraction. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    I loved this movie. Have watched it over and over again. It's a bit simple and silly in humor, but that's one of it's draws. Wasn't what I would call the traditional Holiday movie, but definitely pleasing. It's a movie of it's times, so if you are looking for hardcore sexual humor you won't find it here, however, you will find sexual tension of sorts between the main characters written in a way that movies of the time did, left some to your imagination and making you want more. This movie did grasp me, I found myself wanting to know how it turned out, but already knowing she'll get her man in the end, that's fairly obvious. The route in between was dleightfully silly.

    I really enjoyed this movie. It is a little wacky at times, but the premise is clever. A lesser known classic film for Christmas, but it really shouldn't be. A must see!
