Confidentially Connie is a 1953 film directed by Edward Buzzell. It stars Van Johnson and Janet Leigh.

Maine housewife Connie Bedloe is pregnant, but the family's limited income from her husband Joe's teaching job means that they can't buy meat. When the father-in-law Opie, a Texas cattle rancher, comes to visit and finds out that the family isn't eating meat, he convinces the butcher to sell him a giant steak, halving the price. At a party, the guests find out that the butcher sold it to Opie at half price, and so they all head to the butcher shop, causing a price war. In the end, it comes time for the family to decide whether to stay in Maine or return to Texas.

Synopsis

Connie Bedloe est amoureuse, mariée et enceinte. Tout irait bien si son obstétricien ne lui prescrivait un régime riche en viande. Or, les revenus du jeune ménage ne lui permettent pas de s'offrir un steak à tous les repas. Connie est pourtant saisie d'une telle envie de protéines animales qu'elle renonce à fumer pour pouvoir s'acheter une côtelette d'agneau. Joe, son mari, un jeune universitaire promis au plus brillant avenir et aux plus ternes rémunérations, accuse le coup. Sa femme ? Obligée d'arrêter de fumer ? De dépit, il accepte l'invitation de son père, un véritable tyran domestique mais aussi un riche éleveur texan...
