Monday Night Movie: "Christmas in Connecticut"

Darien Library presents a new monthly program: Monday Night at the Movies! 

This week we are showing “Christmas in Connecticut.”

“Barbara Stanwyck stars as a famous expert on marriage, cooking and homemaking who is asked by her publisher to host a national hero for Christmas dinner at her famous Connecticut home. It should be simple, but she must scramble to keep the secret that she's single, can't cook and doesn't own a home. With a lot of help, meticulous planning and split-second timing, the urban sophisticate may succeed . . . but the unforeseen happens when she falls in love with her guest in this classic romantic comedy.”– Warner Bros.
