It’s Christmas week here at MOVIEHUMPERS (soon to be called THE PROJECTORS) and we’re hitting up another classic era Christmas romantic comedy. The farce gets pretty thick in today’s discussion but the charm is consistent in this comedy of errors starring a beaming Barbara Stanwyck in Peter Godfrey’s 1945 comedy “CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT”. Stanwyck plays Liz, a society gal who writes fictional first hand accounts of farm wife life. When a nice war hero, inspired by Liz’s articles, wants to stay and visit then Liz has to figure out how to fake it all for the soldier and also her boss for fear of being fired. There’s some contrived other plot points that thread this all together, including an engagement that Liz gets wrangled in to, but it’s pretty hard not to feel the romance between the hunky sweet sailor and the society gal. Also starring Dennis Morgan, Sydney Greenstreet, Reginald Gardiner and S.Z. Sakall. If only she could tell him the truth and keep her job. I mean, she could. Why should her boss care? She’s moving magazines ain’t she? Stanwyck is a worthy comedic lead and this is one of the funnier of the Christmas Classics we’ve discussed.
