Viewing Notes
Torch singer Barbara Stanwyck moves to North Dakota as mail-order bride to farmer George Brent, all to get away from clingy Lyle Talbot. A romantic comedy ruled by Queen B. Of course, the idea that she would have to convince any man that she loves him is a male fantasy! William Wellman frames the action with precision.
