      Movie Info

      While recovering in a hospital, war hero Jefferson Jones (Dennis Morgan) grows familiar with the "Diary of a Housewife" column written by Elizabeth Lane (Barbara Stanwyck). Jeff's nurse arranges with Elizabeth's publisher, Alexander Yardley (Sydney Greenstreet), for Jeff to spend the holiday at Elizabeth's bucolic Connecticut farm with her husband and child. But the column is a sham, so Yardley hastens to arrange a publicity ploy by setting up single, nondomestic Elizabeth on a country farm.

      Audience Reviews for Christmas in Connecticut

      • Dec 24, 2016
        "Christmas in Connecticut" is cute and diverting, with a good performance by Stanwyck. Essentially, it's "I Love Lucy" when they moved to Connecticut -- but it's Christmas -- and even more sexist. Completely predictable, but still enjoyable even though you know exactly where the Christmas sleigh is headed.

        Star power sells this bit of holiday confectionery, with the benefits of studio system style production evident throughout. You'll want to move in by the end of it.

        This romantic comedy is very funny and very sweet, I enjoyed it, and I think you will too. It has an interesting story of lies and getting out of lies and finding love. The actors are great, I loved Stanwyck in this one. This is a fun movie, I recommend it.

        I really enjoyed this! I went into it thinking it would be super hokey (the majority of older movies are), but I thought this was extremely entertaining and fun.
