i absolutely adore this film about a lady columnist ( barbara stanwyck ) for a major homemaking magazine who deliver a welcoming article each month that include detail about her awesome home life a a wife and mother in a beautiful connecticut home . the trouble happen when the owner of her monthly publication demand that she have him and a ww2 hero a guest during the christmas holiday . why be she worry . because she live in a small new york apartment and isn not marry and and doesn not have a baby and can not cook at all . hilarity ( and romance ) ensue when she try to put on a believable act in an effort to save face or keep from be fire by the magazine owner ( play by sydney greenstreet ) . this be a delightful comedy while one that i highly recommend to classic movie lover .
