Christmas Classics: Christmas in Connecticut (1945)

I watched this in the summer actually because Barbara Stanwyck has quickly become one of my very favorite actresses. Comedy, drama, westerns, film-noir… Barbara Stanwyck was so dynamic and unsurpassed when it came to versatility. She could do it all and do it better than most.

In "Christmas in Connecticut" she plays a food writer who has lied in her columns about being a great cook. Of course she's invited to her boss' country estate for the holidays to cook for them and she has no idea how to do it so madcap hijinks ensue, plus some romance, a lot of snow and it's a real "fake it until you make it." A very delightful comedy.

hello. I give you a list of some of my mom's top favorite christmas movies (also some of my own top favs!!) that you should definitely watch if you get the time!!

fitzwilly (1967) -- dick van dyke frequently commits capers so the woman he works for never realizes she's poor -- and also because, he just really loves doing it. he must pull off his final caper to set everything right on christmas eve, in the hallowed gimbels department store. a great cast of character actors in this, including john mcgiver and john fiedler (the voice of piglet!!)

the man who came to dinner (1942) -- the incredible monty woolley, playing an acerbic, egotistical radio host, slips on some icy steps, gets stuck in a house while recovering from the subsequent broken hip, and causes Massive Seasonal Havoc for literally every single person alive. literally the most incredible dialogue you will ever, ever hear, with the most perfect cast to ever come together

the shop around the corner (1940) -- the og you've got mail, with james stewart and margaret sullavan playing the feuding coworkers unknowingly in love with each other (i prefer in the good old summertime (1949), the musical version with judy garland and van johnson (and s.z. sakall!! and buster keaton!!) (and still christmasy, despite the title!!), but! I think we should all see shop around the corner at least once. ernst lubitsch, you know.)

larceny inc (1942) -- edward g robinson parodies his gangster roles in the classic con tale of "recently-released criminal buys store near bank in order to tunnel into the safe". if you've seen edward g play it completely serious in like, double indemnity, PLEASE watch larceny inc, he truly has some of the most incredible comedic delivery ever, as do edward brophy and broderick crawford, also some classic noir and gangster actors having the time of their lives being silly

we're no angels (1955) -- humphrey bogart, peter ustinov, and aldo ray (eric da re's father!!) play escaped criminals who intend to rob a store but end up helping the family who runs it keep it out of the hands of their conniving relative, played by basil rathbone. it can be a little slow but is honestly, very sweet, a little absurd, a little dark comedy, just such a time all around

christmas in connecticut (1945) -- the most Shenanigans to EVER shenanigan. barbara stanwyck plays a magazine writer who's been lying about her life in order to keep her job and write a homesteading column. she cannot cook, or farm, and is not even married. her editor (sydney greenstreet!!) has a recovering soldier come stay at her (unbeknownst to him, actually nonexistent) farm to experience good christmas feeling. Cue The Most Zany Series Of Shenanigans To Keep Up An Absolute Mountain Of Lies

Christmas Countdown [11/12] Christmas in Connecticut (1945)

[gendryamas]

All Gendry would like this Christmas is to hear from his mom. Sounds easy enough, but his mom died ten years ago. Gendry tracks down a witch who’s said to be able to communicate with the dead, but at first, he thinks he must be at the wrong house in the middle of the woods. This witch is nothing like he expected. She refuses to take any payment, in the spirit of Christmas. Her hut in the woods even has a Christmas tree.

Christmas in Winterfell

Injured in the war and unable to eat solid food during his recovery, Gendry Waters spends his convalescence devouring Arya Stark's food and lifestyle column in Westeros Woman’s Day magazine. Dreams of the lavish meals she prepares in her cozy cabin in Winterfell speed his recovery.

When Waters’ story reaches Arya's publisher, Tyrion Lannister, Lannister sensing positive publicity, arranges for he and Waters to spend Christmas in Winterfell enjoying Arya’s gourmet food and famous hospitality.

Unbeknownst to Lannister and Waters, Arya's career is all a charade; she knows nothing about hospitality and even less about cooking. She relies on her chef friend, Hot Pie for material for her column.

Arya determination to maintain her charade is complicated by her immediate attraction to the handsome Mr. Waters.

*inspired by the underrated Christmas in Connecticut (1945), it's worth checking out if you have a chance
