My 150 Favorite Movies - #75

Christmas in Connecticut (1945)
Following her appearance as a dangerous femme fatale in Double Indemnity, Barbara Stanwyck starred in this romantic comedy, about a woman whose domestic goddess credentials only exists on paper. When called upon to act the part for her boss, she panics, and accepts a proposal from a longtime suitor she really doesn't much care for. The whole thing takes place over the Christmas holidays (hence the title), and Stanwyck receives an able assist from an all-star supporting cast, including S.Z. SakallSydney Greenstreet, Dennis Morgan, and Reginald Gardiner. One of the most charming movies ever.
