Christmas in Connecticut - 6pm

Dir. Peter Godfrey, 1945, USA, 102 minutes, Cert :18 (CTBA)

Stick around after the Winter Fair for our festive film pick about an old-timey tradwife influencer who gets called on her bluff and has to host her boss for Christmas. 

Barbara Stanwyck plays Elizabeth Lane, a column writer with a good gig pretending to be a bucolic domestic goddess while living off takeout from the restaurant below her Manhattan apartment, until a wartime nurse writes to Elizabeth's publisher asking that the author of 'Diary of a Housewife' host the nurse's fiancé over Christmas to give him a good taste of familial bliss. Fortunately, or unfortunately, Elizabeth's editor has a Connecticut farmhouse he's keen to share with her. 

Featuring the great character actors S.Z. Sakall and Una O'Connor, this slapstick comedy subtly resists the gender norms of its day.

Doors open 30 minutes before advertised start time. All film screenings are ad-free and 18+ unless otherwise stated, and start with no more than a 10 min selection of trailers.
