Christmas in Connecticut

Christmas in Connecticut

The romancin's rosy and the fun's furious and everybody's going to be there! You're invited!

A buoyant holiday romantic comedy built on mistaken identity and domestic deception, where a magazine writer must fake an entire farm life to impress a war hero.

While recovering in a hospital, war hero Jefferson Jones grows familiar with the "Diary of a Housewife" column written by Elizabeth Lane. Jeff's nurse arranges with Elizabeth's publisher, Alexander Yardley, for Jeff to spend the holiday at Elizabeth's bucolic Connecticut farm with her husband and child. But the column is a sham, so Elizabeth and her editor, Dudley Beecham, in fear of losing their jobs, hasten to set up the single, childless and entirely nondomestic Elizabeth on a country farm.
