Kalissa H @kali_416 Aug 4 I could’ve watched another hour of this, I really enjoyed it. Romantic. I was glad Joan took the farm in stride. See more Gayle R May 31 This is a beautiful film. A young married couple come together in an unusual way: Loneliness and a desire to have a good life in spite of hardship. This is a taboo subject in American. But it is honest. Their struggle touches the core of what love is. See more Raymond H Mar 6 I’m not sure this movie made sense, but I enjoyed it a great deal! Barbara Stanwyck is an absolute charmer, George Brent is fine, Lyle Talbot, who must of had an incredibly long career, is good. Great pre-code shots of Barbara Stanwyck dressing and undressing. See more Steve D 05/04/2023 The script isn't worthy of Stanwyck. See more 10/29/2017 Stanwyck escapes gangster boyfriend and becomes farmer. See more 03/31/2016 Barbara Stanwyck had me from the beginning, as she crooned "Take Me Away" so seductively in the movie's first scene, and she could do no wrong from then on. Those eyes, that voice. She's so beautiful, and so natural as an actor. She plays a nightclub singer who becomes a mail-order bride to a farmer (Jim Gilson) in the middle of nowhere after wanting to get away from city life. It all moves a little too quickly for her as she has a rapid civil ceremony practically after stepping off a long train ride, and that evening she rebuffs her new husband's advances. He's the sensitive sort and can't forget it, even after she comes around and makes it clear she wants to consummate their marriage, talking to him sweetly and sincerely, and later beckoning him with lingerie. The movie is not all that well regarded, but I found it sweet, and Stanwyck captivating. See more Read all reviews
