If nothing else, this decidedly silly, light-weight RomCom from 1945 will certainly entice you with all of its talk (as well as its presentation) of food-glorious-food. Your mouth will water at the sight of some of the delectable meals that are placed before your famished eyes.
But, with that said, I found this somewhat screwy Chick Flick wasn't exactly the sort of cold-climate story that's guaranteed to warm your heart, nor put you into the Christmas spirit, or anything like that, at all.
But, still, this film does have its entertaining moments, even though its plot was just a wafer-thin "Girl-Gets-Boy-To-The-Altar" story with a predictable, token "happy ending" conveniently tacked on for good measure.
This piece of airy fluff has Barbara Stanwyck playing character Elizabeth Lane, a chic, NYC writer for Smart Housekeeping magazine, who's got her naive readers believing her to be the most ideally perfect homemaker on the face of the planet (but, in reality, she's far from being that).
This standard studio corn has Miss Lane cornered into entertaining both a dashing, young war veteran and her overbearing boss in a cozy, but posh, Connecticut home for the holidays.
Filmed in b&w, this offering from Warner Bros. has a running time of 100 minutes.
