Help Barbara Stanwyck Celebrate CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT Saturday at The Hi-Pointe
“Maybe scarlet fever. It’s a better color for Christmas!”
CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT screens this Saturday morning, December 5th at 10:30am at The Hi-Pointe Theater (1005 McCausland Ave., St. Louis, MO 63117) as part of their Classic Film Series.
In CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT (1945) Barbara Stanwyck stars as a magazine columnist who writes about life on her farm house when in fact she lives in a NY apartment. She must come up with a plan when she learns that her publisher and a war hero will spend Christmas with her. CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT is an entertaining little screwball comedy, thanks mostly to its fine cast. In a big departure from her previous role as a femme fatale in DOUBLE INDEMNITY, Stanwyck displays a nice comedic flair. Dennis Morgan is smooth as the affable war hero while Sidney Greenstreet is well cast as the publisher. However, S.Z. Sakall steals the film as a chef trying to master the English language while speaking with an almost incomprehensible European accent.You’ll have a lot of fun seeing this on the big screen when it plays this weekend at The Hi-Pointe Theater
Doors open at 10am CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT begins at 10:30! Admission is only $5!!
