What’s Christmas in Connecticut without “Christmas in Connecticut”?
That’s one of the movies in this year’s lineup of Christmas screenings at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, 600 Main St. in Hartford.
The museum will begin its annual Christmas-movie series this week with a screening of the holiday classic “White Christmas.” The 1954 Bing Crosby-Danny Kaye musical tells the story of a song-and-dance team that falls for a sister act (Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen). It features songs by Irving Berlin, including “White Christmas” and “Blue Skies.”
That movie will be shown Thursday, Dec. 3, at 8 p.m.
On Dec. 20, the movie is “Christmas in Connecticut,” the 1945 comedy about a phony-baloney food writer who must deliver a good meal on Christmas. It stars Barbara Stanwyck.
On Dec. 27, the closing film is the 1933 Katharine Hepburn version of “Little Women.”
Admission is free to all films except “White Christmas.” To that one, admission is free with admission to First Thursday events, which begin at 5 p.m. and cost $5. thewadsworth.org.
