평가 및 리뷰

I love this movie the newer version just doesn't do it justice. Uncle Oscar is awesome and really makes this movie great. Dennis Morgan, what can you say? He was so dog gone cute. Barbara was just being her. I love her movies.

Barbara Stanwyck plays a magazine writer who writes about cooking when in reality she can't cook. One Christmas, the owner of her magazine wants her to treat a war hero to an old-fashioned Christmas in the country home she lives with her husband. She doesn't have a husband. She convinces her boyfriend to lend her his country home on the promise she will marry him. She also convinces a chef friend to help her with the cooking. The war hero arrives and the two fall in love.

Barbra Stanwyck plays a modern day Martha Stewart but only on paper. She's smart, effortlessly funny and absolutely engaging to watch. Dennis Morgan, a sailor looking for some Christmas cheer, is a perfect foil. Once their paths cross, the story glides along joyoysly with the help of a stellar supporting cast.
