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.

Played strictly for laughs, belly type, it's an audience winner from way back in the balcony. What can you lose?

Rachel Wagner

It's nothing that's going to change your life or anything but if you want a pleasant and romantic comedy that has some good laughs and some good chemistry it's a... really entertaining little Christmas movie.

Combustible Celluloid

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Barbara Stanwyck uses every acting muscle in her body to redeem this silly holiday romance.

TIME Magazine

Thoroughly moth-eaten.

If this mildly amusing screwball comedy about mistaken identity has a conservative slant of glorifying housewives it's due to the zeitgeist: It was made in 1945, at the end of WWII, when men were coming home and women sent back to the kitchen.
