i have discover this movie accidentally and it be really a nice surprise . a christmas classic and it also one of the fine comedy of the 40 . the story line be simple represent elisabeth lane ( barbara stanwyck ) make out her living by write culinary column for a magazine . at christmas time and her bos and alexander yardley ( sydney greenstreet ) ask her to invite a young weaken sailor in the connecticut farm she write about . the only problem be represent she hasn not get any farm and she can not cook . to get out of the jam and elisabeth agrees to marry a wealthy friend ( reginald gardiner and who have a farm ) and fly for connecticut with her wonderful cook uncle felix . there a fine direction by peter godfrey and the cast be really wonderful represent stanwyck have never be well a this witty and yet romantic woman . greenstreet and gardiner and sakall make hilarious and human support character . the only weak point be the lead man and dennis morgan . he start well but a the movie go on and becomes really a bore . one almost feel sorry for elisabeht lane to end up with him rather than with gary cooper or david niven who both would have be more suitable for the part . anyway and this be a joyful christmas time movie with a refreshing score and i advice it to everyone who like to spend funny and sweet holiday . in connecticut .
