The story begins with the WWII soldiers rescued, spending time in a hospital, and moving on during Christmas time. Love and miracles and possibilities are the backbone of holiday films and you'll find them aplenty here. In a small NYC apartment we meet our heroine, a "talented' writer offering up a wealth of knowledge... she is America's Martha Stewart of the 40s and housewives across America take her advice happily. Now one of those nurses with one of the wounded soldiers in the hospital reaches out to the publisher of the magazine our heroine... this turns into a great idea by the publisher: have the young man spend time with our heroine and her family on their Connecticut farm. What could go wrong?
You'll have to watch to find out, but at the holidays anything can happen and here it does. Does Christmas in Connecticut show it's age? Does it have modern ideas of men and women or... you bet it doesn't. But movies are a snap shot of their times and can connect us to people and ideas and ways we sometimes need... or want. And when it's Christmas in Connecticut you can be sure it'll have laughter, tears, and a sleigh ride through the snow.
This works well until the publisher, the imperious Alexander Yardley (Sydney Greenstreet), is sold on the idea of sending a war hero, a sailor (Dennis Morgan) who survived 18 days on a life raft, to her farm to have a real family Christmas., This setup is handled really well as a kind of dramatic prologue that opens this holiday film improbably underwater in a submarine. Yardley's family won't be coming up this year from Florida so he decides to spend his holiday at Lane's perfect Connecticut farm as well. This creates a potentially job-losing dilemma for Lane. With the help of architect and lukewarm suitor John Sloan (Reginald Gardiner) who happens to have a Connecticut farmhouse he's been renovating. and Felix with his chef's talents she hopes to fool both the sailor and Yardley. The resulting comedy of errors builds on itself getting ever more complicated and outrageous yet without really seeming impossible.
The wonderful cast makes the film really sparkle. Barbara Stanwyck usually played serious leads in films like Double Indemnity and this rare comic outing shows she had the knack for comedy. Sydney Greenstreet played nothing but villains in films like The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca and it's a delight to see him lighten up. here. His role is tricky because though he is really kind-hearted, he hides it under a gruff exterior and being a very powerful man can still be dangerous if crossed. S.Z. Sakall, a Hungarian comic actor who had fled the Nazis, had made a splash as Carl, the head waiter in Casablanca and was about to begin playing a long line of befuddled European uncle-types in many films. His Felix is his first role of this type and in this film he's also a kind of magical character who helps things right themselves in the end.
Dennis Morgan as the sailor has a tricky role because he's such a normal All-American guy type, but he manages to exude warmth and adds a believability to the romance in the film. A singer, he gets a nice scene at the piano while Stanwyck decorates an enormous Christmas Tree. Reginald Gardiner wants to marry Stanwyck but it seems he really wants a trophy wife. When he kisses her he immediately begins to discuss plumbing (when Morgan kisses her, harps play). Gardiner gives a cabbie a dime for a tip on a dollar fare while Morgan gives a delivery boy a dollar tip on a dollar delivery. The two could not be more different. Una O'Connor, a veteran of many classic films is great as Norah, Sloan's cook who doesn't appreciate Felix putting paprika in her Irish stew.
It's all good fun and Warner Brothers went all out with a great set perfect for the era, when renovating old farmhouses into rustic showplaces was a very hip thing. They even open things up outdoors for a town dance and sleighride scene. The script is light and breezy and always funny. In the end even the fat man says, "What a Christmas!".
EXTRA NOTE: Barbara Stanwyck made an earlier Christmas movie with Fred MacMurray in 1940 titled Remember the Night. It is a quiet film that works its Christmas magic on you subtly and is very worthwhile. It's rare (I had to buy the DVD because no one was streaming it. Maybe someone is now or it might be on TV).

This is a classic Xmas movie.
You will not regret buying this one

Par contre la description du DVD par Amazon n'est pas correct, il n'y a pas de doublage français sur le DVD mais uniquement des sous-titres parmi lesquels figure le français.
La bande son française était l'une de mes principales motivations pour cet achat même si ce film est un classique qui mérite d'être découvert en v.o.
Family friendly, quite funny, and let's face it: Barbara Stanwyck in her hey day~ ENJOY! Merrrrrry Christmas~
