« Christmas In Connecticut » is my all-time favourite Christmas movie with honest the moral combination of humour, sentiment, radiant settings, and terrific performers. I play this film every year during the week leading up to Christmas and the season would not be complete with its fabulous presence in my home.
Being a mammoth Barbara Stanwyck fan I would have loved this film anyway however in « Christmas In Connecticut » Barbara has never been more winning than as Elizabeth Lane, the know it all columnist for « Knowing Housekeeping » magazine in Unique York who always, (in her reader’s minds at least) can wip up the most beautiful culinary masterpieces for any occasion. Barbara was always a very unprejudiced actress and brought conviction and feeling to any role she tackled whether it be a devoted mother or a murderess. Here the focus is on comedy as the film tells the very silly anecdote of how after winning country wide fame as the icon of « Intellectual Housekeeping » her deception starts to unravel as the Christmas season approaches when her publisher Alexander Yardley (a beneficial Sydney Greenstreet) decides he wants to boost circulation by titillating a returning war customary to exhaust Christmas with Elizabeth and her family on her graceful farm in Connecticut. The only pickle here is that Elizabeth has made up everything about her supposedly ideal life, from having a husband, a child, owning a farm in the country and worst of all even being able to cook! What follows is a highly laughable yarn as Elizabeth tries to avoid having her deception uncovered. Yardley with more dollars flashing in his eyes however is not easily effect off and demands that the war faded Jefferson Jones (Dennis Morgan) fragment in an ideal American Christmas on the farm with Elizabeth and her « family ». To build matters worse rather than be alone for the holidays he also invites himself along to experience this ideal Christmas with all the trimmings which creates panic for Elizabeth in that she knows Yardley will only except « total honesty » from all his staff, and thus she is in inconvenience of also losing her job because of her deception. Complication piles on complication for Elizabeth as wealthy suitor John Sloan « lends » her his farm and « borrows » a local factory workers child to construct up the family she needs and also recruits Felix Bassenak a gourmet chef from the local restaurant to play « Uncle Felix’. He is instructed to « benefit » Elizabeth with the cooking because of course as Elizabeth tells Yardley « she taught him everything he knows!! »
« Christmas In Connecicut » is blessed with a unbelievable cast that relieve bring this funny epic to life. Sydney Greenstreet has never been better than in the role of the bombasic Yardley and his reactions to Stanwyck’s attempts to flip his pancakes « unprejudiced as she writes so lovingly about in Quick-witted Housekeeping » are a delight. Dennis Morgan provides the valid adore interest in the yarn and he is unprejudiced that apt combination of goodlooks and simple sincerity as the returning war musty. The memorable S.Z. Sakall, a aged of so many funny performances in countless films literally steals the note as the indignant « Uncle Felix ». His reactions of dismay at being found out in the ruse are hilarious. His facial expressions alone are worth watching the film for. Reginald Gardiner has the thankless role of the dreary architect John Sloan who is in treasure with Elizabeth and offers to go along with the anecdote if Elizabeth will promise to marry him. He nevertheless does beget something of his character despite being up against the more colourful characters played by Greenstreet and Sakall.

From the perspective of the hectic, contemporary world in which we live, the so called « agreeable conventional days » always seen so mighty more still and innocent; an idyllic era gone by of which we have only memories and shadows that linger on the silver veil, as with « Christmas In Connecticut, » a warm and endearing film directed by Peter Godfrey. Barbara Stanwyck stars as Elizabeth Lane, a well-liked « Martha Stewart » type magazine columnist who writes about life on her beloved farm in Connecticut, always with the latest recipe at the center of the chronicle. One of her biggest fans is Alexander Yardley, played by Sidney Greenstreet, the publisher of the magazine for which she writes. Yardley has never visited her farm, and in response to an belief expressed to him in a letter from a nurse, Mary (Joyce Compton), he decides to exhaust an outmoded fashioned Christmas with Elizabeth, her husband and child and, as a special guest, a positive Mr. Jefferson Jones (Dennis Morgan), a sailor impartial recovered from spending fifteen days at sea on a raft after his ship was torpedoed.

What follows is a charming and delightfully romantic comedy that transports the audience benefit to a seemingly more simple time and situation, to section a Christmas Past where a warm hearth, obliging food and kindness prevail.

One of the right delights of this film, however, is Sidney Greenstreet. His Yardley has a gruff exterior, but beneath you know without a doubt that this is a man with a heart as vast as Texas. It’s a straightforward, fair portrayal, and it’s a joy to peek him work; the most memorable scenes in the movie belong to him, especially one he shares in the kitchen with Felix (the delicious S.Z. Sakall), the chef, and another during the denouement with Stanwyck that will invent you laugh out loud. The supporting cast includes Reginald Gardiner (John Sloan), the terrific Una O’Connor (Norah), Frank Jenks (Sinkewicz) and Dick Elliott (Contemplate Crothers) .
