Christmas in Connecticut is a 1992 American Christmas romantic comedy television film directed by Arnold Schwarzenegger (his only directing credit to date) and starring Dyan Cannon, Kris Kristofferson, and Tony Curtis.[1] It is a remake of the 1945 film of the same name.[2][3] The film premiered on TNT on April 13, 1992.[3][4]
Elizabeth is the star of a successful cooking show and the author of several cookbooks. Alexander, her manager, sees a heroic forest ranger named Jefferson on the television news, saying he has lost his cabin in a fire and wishes he could get a home-cooked Christmas dinner.
Alexander arranges for Elizabeth to do a special live show on Christmas, where she will cook a Christmas dinner for Jefferson. In reality, Elizabeth cannot cook and trying to keep Jefferson and the viewing public from finding out may be a little difficult, especially on a live show.
John Ferguson of Radio Times awarded the film two stars out of five.[5]
