Love a movie where a major moment of drama hinges on someone flipping a pancake

Barbara Stanwyck always referring to the various babies as “it.” Incredible running gag, funny every time

all i want is for s.z. sakall to be in the background of every movie adjusting his glasses and making faces and saying "everything is hunky dunky" when everything is very much not hunky dunky at all

My life’s ambition is to decorate a 10ft tall Christmas tree in an evening gown and fur trimmed bolero.

When Barbara Stanwyck shattered an ornament because she was swooning over Dennis Morgan so hard... I felt that

love any movie where the premise is that barbara stanwyck is using society’s construction of the housewife image to lie in her magazine column in order to buy herself a mink coat and live in a cute 1br in manhattan

Tinsel-thin seasonal folly (1945) about a newslady who has a GI hero over for Christmas dinner. Frolicsome in an artificially hearty sort of way, though it made its studio (Warners) a nice holiday bundle.
