Great old-fashioned movie. In Black & White, this film from 1945 tells the story of a female magazine writer (Barbara Stanwyck) and a WWII sailor (Dennis Morgan) who meet because her publisher (Sidney Greenstreet) wants the publicity. She writes a food and home feature and knows nothing about either. Her uncle is a chef (S.Z. Sakal) who saves her in the kitchen, and an architect who wants to marry her (Reginald Gardiner) provides the home. The sailor has recently been rescued from a ship wreck and is, of course, young and handsome. As in all good romantic comedies from the past, there's no swearing, just good clean fun in an improbable, yet sweet, story.

Discovered this movie almost 30 years ago. Got a vcr tape, then a DVD. Loaned it out and did not get it back. So happy to have a new copy. This story has a Currier & Ives backdrop. It is a perfect example of playing out a romance without sexual content. The story is set in WWII, the time that my parents were the age of the main characters. Barbara Stanwyck was a beautiful woman. I most love Uncle Felix! Comedy, romance, and Christmas. I tell my family that Christmas can't happen until I watch it!

Beautiful good old fashioned Christmas movie. Truly a timeless classic, perfect for the entire family!! Me, my wife and daughter watch this at least once for the Christmas season. I thought I would finally purchase it on DVD. Lovable characters, a funny plot and lots of laugh out loud moments and yet a very romantic movie. This is the best price out there that ships from the US. I got it in no time at all!
