DOUBLE FEATURED (2-Movies-For-The-Price-of-1) with the 1945 classic CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT !
Famed director Ernst Lubitsch's bubbly workplace rom-com where Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullavan bicker by day and swoon by night…over anonymous love letters. Released on the eve of WWII, the film blends pre-war jitters with a longing for simpler, sweeter days. It later inspired iconic films like In the Good Old Summertime (1949) and You’ve Got Mail (1998).
"...one of the greatest and most influential romantic comedies ever made..." - Zita Short, InSession Film
"A gem whose worth is not a superficial sparkle but a glow of warmth lighted by sincere characterization and an evanescent beauty that is caught in an awakening love." - Ada Hanifin, San Francisco Examiner
