“Christmas in Connecticut” is a holiday romantic comedy where Barbara Stanwyck plays a single New York City reporter whose articles about her fictitious husband and baby on a Connecticut farm becomes a nationwide sensation. The truth is in danger of being revealed when a returning war hero expresses interest to visit the family at Christmas time. Fun screwball comedy proceeds from there, a result of capable direction by Peter Godfrey (“That Hagen Girl” 1947) and a good script by Lionel Houser and Adele Comandini.
Co-stars with Barbara Stanwyck includes Dennis Morgan, Sydney Greenstreet, Reginald Gardiner, S. Z. Sakall, Robert Shayne, Una O’Connor, Frank Jenks, Joyce Compton, and Dick Elliot as Judge Crothers. The watchable black-and-white Christmas classic “Christmas in Connecticut” was popular with the general public in theatrical release for Warner Bros. Pictures.
