Child Bride (1938)
Directed by Harry Revier
Overview
Jennie is a twelve-year-old girl living with her parents in extremely rural mountain country. Her schoolteacher, Miss Carol, though a mountain girl herself, has gone off to be educated and returned in hopes of stopping the tradition of child marriage which permeates the culture. Jennie’s father Ira is a good man who tries to protect Miss Carol from the men who threaten her if she doesn’t call off her crusade. One of these men, Jake Bolby, has his eye on little Jennie and plots to make her his bride.
