#ManCrushMonday #ChristmasEdition Dennis Morgan as Jefferson Jones in "Christmas in Connecticut" (1945)

 


Jefferson Jones is injured while overseas during WW2 and while on a safety raft, he imagines his ideal dinner to another survivor. Placed in a hospital for his injuries, Jones starts reading Elizabeth Lane's (Barbara Stanwyck) articles about being a cook and mother on a farm in Connecticut. A nurse who starts falling for Jones discovers how enamored he is with the writing and reaches out to the publisher Alexander Yardley (Sydney Greenstreet). What the magazine publisher doesn't know is that everything Elizabeth writes about is a lie, but is willing to put on the charade for Jones to keep her job. 

While on a Connecticut farm provided by who Jones thinks is Elizabeth's husband, he repeatedly finds himself in romantic situations and slowly starts falling for who he thinks is a married woman even though he too is engaged to the nurse who started this whole mess.
