Christmas in Connecticut is a 1992 American Christmas romantic comedy television film directed by Arnold Schwarzenegger (his first and only film directing credit[1]) and starring Dyan Cannon, Kris Kristofferson, and Tony Curtis.

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.

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.

[7] Empire Online reviewed on its release and said: "...this is competently made, vaguely amusing and features enough fake snow to cover Alaska.

"[8] Film Freak Central reviewed it in 2004 saying: "...Schwarzenegger made his directorial debut with the 1992 telefilm Christmas in Connecticut, a remake of a 1945 Barbara Stanwyck flick and the sort of unqualified failure that finds something like thirty dozen ways to redefine “fatuous.”"[9]
