Editorial Reviews

Christmas in Connecticut (1945) (DVD)

Barbara Stanwyck stars as a famous expert on marriage, cooking and homemaking who is asked by her publisher to host a national hero for Christmas dinner at her famous Connecticut home. It should be simple, but she must scramble to keep the secret that she's single, can't cook and doesn't own a home. With a lot of help, meticulous planning and split-second timing, the urban sophisticate may succeed . . . but the unforeseen happens when she falls in love with her guest in this classic romantic comedy.

Perennial Christmas entertainment, warm but not saccharine

ByAllen SmallingVINE VOICEon November 13, 2014

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

This fast-paced but slightly offbeat 1945 movie combines elements of screwball comedy, wartime romance and Christmas cheer. Barbara Stanwyck plays a Manhattan-bound columnist (to use a modern term, a "domestic diva") who rhapsodizes about life on a Connecticut farm she does not, in fact, own. In fact, she is an urban career girl and close to a complete domestic fraud. Complications arise when her publisher (Sydney Greenstreet), responding to a letter from a war hero (Dennis Morgan), invites the vet to Christmas dinner and lends Barbara his Connecticut estate! A terrific supporting cast including S.Z. Sakall and Una O'Connor make this movie an annual joy in our house. Warm but not saccharine, and Stanwyck is a comic dynamo as the harried writer (who cannot, in reality, even flip a pancake) pressed into chatelaine's duty. Highly recommended and at this time, quite cheap.

Classic, schmaltzy Christmas flick

Bydrmorbius79on December 24, 2016

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

Classic, schmaltzy Christmas flick set on the home front towards the end of WWII. It sports a solid cast of Hollywood favorites at the height of their powers- Barbara Stanwyck, Dennis Morgan, Sydney Greenstreet, and S. Z. Sakall. Stanwyck plays a fictitious housekeeping guru forced to cook dinner for her boss and a war hero over the holiday weekend. Despite posing as a doting wife and mother, she falls for the soldier and hijinks ensue. Funny and charming with a feel good happy ending- this movie is best viewed at this time of year with a cup of hot cocoa.

All I want for Christmas...

ByRichard W Dowon December 23, 2013

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

I had seen this movie on network television years ago, and friends of mine who love Christmas moves speak of it in reverent tones, as they would any other religious experience. And, it has plenty to recommend it. The actors are fine, with nice surprises in minor roles. The scenes with the baby are truly funny, I think. Stanwyck is beautiful and in command (this is what she did best). Funny, too, in a sly way.

However, there are some problematic moments. I counted 8 different identities that Stanwyck had either to cope with, reconcile with her real self, or discard during the course of the film. This is what farce is all about, of course, but the number eight may be a little to ambitious, even for as adept an actress as Barbara S. Now, the main problem. Dennis Morgan, playing the romantic hero, has to try and convince a very nice young nurse to smuggle him a steak dinner by promising to marry her. This is how Morgan gets himself invited to Stanwyck's home for Christmas dinner and sets the romance in motion. This is not nice, and in my opinion casts a pall over the rest of the action without meaning to.

Still, the studio-bound scenery and sets, the clothes, and the interaction of the players are all superb. At the end, Stanwyck sums up all the action and then says, "I'm tired!" A witty conclusion, as she steps outside of her role long enough to comment on the action. And by the way, the music by Frederick Hollander is merry and stays with you in a very pleasant way. Enjoy!

ByDiego Demayaon April 24, 2016

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Ron, do not walk, simply run to purchase one of these. The presentation and the contents are simply excellent. I was almost afraid to even look at the vinyl LPs inside! Everything looks absolutely stunningly beautiful and the quality of every item inside is phenomenal. All I can say is enjoy the music and a video content. by the way, you can purchase the double CD many LP version of this album on that rather popular auction site that we all know about. It is an import from United Kingdom. I highly we commend it, because you get the stereo music as well as the monaural music on two separate disks on a beautifully crafted gatefold mini album.

Terrific Christmas movie!

ByL'escribeon December 15, 2013

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

I love the Christmas season which starts (for me) at Thanksgiving with the original Miracle on 34th Street and nightly great holiday movies which can all be found here on amazon but are too numerous to list. Here are a few of my favorites: Remember the Night, Come to the Stable, Going my Way, Bells of St Mary's, It's a Wonderful Life, Holiday Inn, White Christmas, and the charming but not as well known film, It Happened on Fifth Avenue.

Okay. Now we get to the subject of this review. Christmas in Connecticut, the 1945 original film. ( it actually was re-made with Dyan Cannon of all people!) This version, with the marvelous Barbara Stanwyck, is by far the best, and a superb Christmas movie. Stanwyck plays a food columnist for a homemakers magazine who writes about her beautiful and spacious home and farm, husband and baby, and the wonderful full course dinners she prepares. Only hitch is that she is single,doesn't cook and lives in a small unglamourous walk up apartment with her meals sent up from a local restaurant. Things get complicated when her boss, the marvelous Sydney Greenstreet, wants her to invite a soldier to her "farm" for one of her home cooked meals! By the way, the boss invites himself too! And that is when the fun begins.

I won't go into more detail, as the movie is so much fun and so Christmassy I know you will love it.

They just don't make them like this anymore.

A retro ride into another time

ByAmazon CustomerVINE VOICEon March 2, 2014

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

While this is a very retro ride into another time, it is still capable of making me laugh.
Am I spoiled by today's writers who have the ability to layer sub-plots in mesmerizing ways? Yes.

If you want a fun family movie for the holidays this would be a great choice.

For younger people it might be a slice of life from a far simpler era.
