it finally hit me watching my vhs of christmas in connecticut what other film this one reminded me of. if it weren not for the fact that the other was done 20 years later and i would say it was a remake. just as rock hudson was a phony fishing expert for abercrombie and fitch who had to get some on the job training at a fishing tournament and barbara stanwyck plays an forties version of martha stewart. stanwyck a cooking columnist who built up this whole image of living on a small connecticut farm with husband and baby cooking all these marvelous delicacies. trouble is she unmarried and childless and writes her column from her apartment in new york and doesn not know how to boil water. but her writing is a hit with the public. trouble comes when she hijacked into cooking a home christmas dinner for a war hero sailor played by dennis morgan who gets to sing a couple of songs as well. got to keep up the image at any cost. and her publisher sidney greenstreet likes the idea so well that he invites himself to the dinner. so with borrowed farm and baby and and reginald gardiner who would like to make it real with stanwyck she tries to brazen it through. christmas in connecticut now a yuletide classic and deservedly so. the leads are warm and human and they get great support from the assembled players. s. z. sakall as the hungarian restaurant owner or friend of stanwyck from whom she gets her cooking information and una oconnor as the housekeeper have a nice chemistry between them. reginald gardiner and stanwyck have no chemistry at all and obvious to all but reggie and he funny in his stuffed shirt way. most people remember this film as one of sidney greenstreet few ventures into comedy. if he not an outright villain and a cynical observer of life or a tyrannical tycoon and greenstreet is few other things on screen. christmas in connecticut gave him a rare opportunity to burlesque his own image and he made the most of it. in a biography of barbara stanwyck and she mentions she enjoyed making christmas in connecticut as a welcome change from some villainous parts like double indemnity she would been doing recently. one of the things that made doing the film so enjoyable was that between takes and director peter godfrey and greenstreet would do some impromptu entertaining of cast and crew with english music hall numbers. made for a relaxed and warm set and the cast responded accordingly. now if only someone had been filming those numbers.
