Christmas in Connecticut
Those of us who love old movies and classic television, each, often have our own personal missions – stars, films, genres, music, and/or television shows we’d love to help become more popular and more celebrated. I have quite a few stars, genres, music, and movies that fall under my own personal missions heading, including Westerns, Jazz, Dorothy Dandridge, Maureen O’Hara, etc.
One of the movies I desperately want to see become better known and more celebrated is Christmas in Connecticut. It’s so fun, festive, beautiful, and boasts such an extraordinary cast – it deserves to be mentioned alongside other greats such as It’s a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, and White Christmas.
I believe that if it were shown on television as frequently as the others, it’d soon become a household name as well.
Directed by Peter Godfrey, the wonderful movie stars Barbara Stanwyck, Dennis Morgan, Sydney Greenstreet, and one of my favorite character actors ever, the always delightful S.Z. “Cuddles” Sakall.
You can find Christmas in Connecticut (link to the dvd) on Amazon or watch it on Prime Video.
Speaking of Christmas… please forgive me for not having as many updates during the time from Thanksgiving to Christmas as usual. I stay so crazy busy during this time (online shopping, wrapping, baking, cooking, baking, baking, baking…) that it doesn’t leave me much time for anything else!
