Christmas in Connecticut (1945)
Movie
Released
A food writer's invented domestic perfection becomes a practical disaster when her publisher expects her to host a war hero for Christmas. Barbara Stanwyck makes the effort of maintaining the fiction wonderfully entertaining. The festive meal is the pressure test, not just decoration. A lively older choice for anyone who finds the demand to produce a flawless holiday more comic than the idea of another magical visitor.

About Christmas in Connecticut
While recovering in a hospital, war hero Jefferson Jones grows familiar with the "Diary of a Housewife" column written by Elizabeth Lane. Jeff's nurse arranges with Elizabeth's publisher, Alexander Yardley, for Jeff to spend the holiday at Elizabeth's bucolic Connecticut farm with her husband and child. But the column is a sham, so Elizabeth and her editor, Dudley Beecham, in fear of losing their jobs, hasten to set up the single, childless and entirely nondomestic Elizabeth on a country farm.
