The story of how a wicked city racketeer (Robert Montgomery) was converted by country innocence (Maureen O'Sullivan). A great deal brighter and better than it may sound. Go to Full Review Raquel Stecher Out of the Past 01/02/2019
a sweet and charming romance. I love the concept of a city gangster out of his element in the country. Go to Full Review Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television 12/29/2017

David K 12/11/2024 It's a charming movie with a great cast. I'm still trying to figure out how Robert Montgomery has faded from modern memory. I grew up watching his daughter, Elizabeth, play Samantha the witch on "Bewitched" and I often think of her when watching him. The family resemblance is noteworthy, As to the movie, the concept of a criminal on the lam hanging out in the country wasn't all that new. Montgomery and the radiant O'Hara are the centerpieces and the glue of the film. Mickey Rooney has a significant role early on in his long career, soon to be catapulted with "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Of course, he still laughs like an animated donkey, a habit he'd get over in later years. See more Steve D 03/04/2024 This horrid script was Oscar nominated????

See more 09/13/2016 Grade B, lightweight movie. Slow moving in parts. I always like Edward Arnold, he has a lot of presence just by being in in the room. And, a very young Mickey Rooney.
