On Dec. 11 at 7 p.m. in NHTI's Sweeney Auditorium, the Friday Night Film Series presents the holiday classic “Christmas in Connecticut.” Admission is by donation.
Here's a synopsis: Barbara Stanwyck's a cooking columnist who's built up an image of living on a small Connecticut farm with husband and baby, cooking marvelous delicacies. Trouble is, she's unmarried, childless, writes her column from her apartment in New York and doesn't know how to boil water. But her writing is a hit with the reading public.
Trouble comes when she's “hijacked” into cooking a Christmas dinner for a war hero played by Dennis Morgan. And her publisher, played by Sidney Greenstreet – unaware of the charade – likes the idea so well that he invites himself to the dinner.
So, with borrowed farm, baby, and Reginald Gardiner pretending to be her husband, she tries to brazen it through.
