With a lot of help, meticulous planning and split-second timing, the urban sophisticate may succeed, but the unforeseen happens when she falls in love with her guest in this classic romantic comedy including Dennis Morgan, Sydney Greenstreet, Reginald Gardiner, Robert Shayne. “Christmas in Connecticut is a Christmas comedy that some say is one of the funniest Christmas movies ever made.
