If you like Christmas In Connecticut and like Barbara Stanwyck, make every effort to see Remember the Night, a lesser-known Christmas movie she made. It's truly magical. It's probably hard to get but worth the effort.

Thanks for the suggestion to look out for it. I will do just that. I think I probably have seen it but then I've seen Xmas in Connecticut before too!
shareThis movie has a lot of great one-liners and more comedy, but there were things that annoyed me too here like the way the characters all seemed selfish and rather duplicitous. Remember the Night is overall the better movie I feel with a better storyline, but this has more laughs.

Hey! Thanks for this post. I really loved Stanwyk in Christmas In Connecticut but was not a fan of the movie. I feel like it just never came together and I was mostly irritated by a couple of the characters. Anyway, I managed to find Remember The Night and wow! It was really really great. I will be adding this to my yearly Christmas movie list. Thanks again!
shareYes, "Remember the Night" is an incomparably better film than "Connecticut",
and it's humor is much less forced. "Connecticut" is pleasant, but clumsy,
with too many characters and a lot of sitcom-like setups. But I enjoy
it and watch both movies every holiday season.
I enjoy CiC but I also prefer RtN if just because Fred McMurray has such great chemistry with Stanwyck.
