Christmas in Connecticut is a 1945 American Christmas romantic comedy film about an unmarried city magazine writer with a column entitled "Diary of a Housewife" who pretends to be a farm wife and mother then falls in love with a returning war hero. The film was directed by Peter Godfrey and stars Barbara Stanwyck, Dennis Morgan and Sydney Greenstreet. The above poster was one of the theatrical release posters.
The film was released August 11, 1945 with a budget of $864,000. A remake of Christmas in Connecticut was made in 1992 starring Dyan Cannon as Elizabeth, Kris Kristofferson as Jefferson Jones and Tony Curtis as Mr. Yardley. The made-for-TV movie first aired on TNT.
A review of the film posted on December 24, 2016 read as follows: Christmas in Connecticut is cute with a good performance by Stanwyck. Essentially, it's I Love Lucy when they moved to Connecticut, but it's Christmas. The film is predictable, but still enjoyable even though you know exactly where the Christmas sleigh is headed."
Be Safe.
