December 11 movie: Christmas in Connecticut. I can't believe I never saw this movie before. It's Barbara Stanwyck as a self-proclaimed domestic goddess with a hugely successful magazine about the joys of country living with her family. Sound familiar? The main difference between Stanwyck and Martha Stewart, besides jail, is that Stanwyck is a fraud, a single woman who can't cook & lives in a tiny NY apartment. The movie follows her attempt to convince her publisher (Sydney Greenstreet) and a war hero (Dennis Morgan) that she really is a domestic goddess. The wonderful character actor S.Z. Sakall plays the restaurant chef who pretends to be Stanwyck's "Uncle Felix" and helps her with the cooking.
