Christmas In Connecticut

General Admission FREE
D.R. Barker Community Series
As a gift to the community, the D.R. Barker Library has teamed up with the Fredonia Opera House to offer this free-admission holiday film.
In this 1945 holiday classic, journalist Elizabeth Lane (Barbara Stanwyck) is one of the country's most famous food writers. In her column, she describes herself as a hard-working farm woman, taking care of her children and being an excellent cook. However, Elizabeth's got a little secret: She needs a recipe to boil water! She has no cooking skills, no Connecticut farm, no adoring hubby and no baby-makes-three, as suggested in her column.
When the owner of the magazine she works for decides that a heroic sailor will spend Christmas on Elizabeth's farm as a publicity stunt, Elizabeth knows that her career will be over if the truth comes out ... but what can she do?
Watch the fun and hilarity as Elizabeth tries to be the perfect holiday hostess, a gourmet cook, a good wife and doting mother ... all with absolutely NO experience.
The film also stars Dennis Morgan, Sydney Greenstreet and Reginald Gardiner.
While admission is FREE, a ticket is required and can be reserved by calling the Box Office at 716-679-1891.
