It's 1945 and the standard for American homes is being set by Elizabeth Lane, Smart Housekeeping's resident domestic diva. Except she's not. She can't boil water, she lives in a one bedroom apartment in New York and she's just spent her next six month's salary on a mink coat. Ignorant to the truth about America's domestic sweetheart, her publisher decides to invite a war hero - and then himself - to Elizabeth's storied (and fictional) Connecticut farm for the holidays.
Barbara Stanwyck's plucky heroine, a handsome sailor, a cast of hilarious supporting characters and a Connecticut farm are a recipe for a great holiday screwball comedy.
Fun fact: Dick Elliott, who plays Judge Crothers, also appears as the man on the porch who urges James Stewart to kiss Donna Reed in It’s a Wonderful Life.
