I really enjoyed and was completely absorbed by your thorough (and intelligent and entertaining) look at "The Farmer Takes a Wife" - from it's very beginnings (and before), through its life on film.<br /><br />I believe I've seen the 1935 movie - but not for a long, long time. Now I'm really curious to see it again. Thanks for the a great read and the motivation to revisit a movie I'd forgotten.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-87863652878555818212011-07-22T13:36:11.516-07:002011-07-22T13:36:11.516-07:00Thanks, Dawn.

So far, it's not available on DVD. Looks like we have to wait for the movie gods to smile upon us.<br /><br />I haven't seen "The Farmer's Daughter" in a long time.

The original sounds wonderful, and what a cast! I was also interested to hear that June Walker, whom I remember as Myra in Waterloo Bridge, was John Kerr's mother! <br /><br />You know, it's possible that if I saw this movie title, I confused it with "The Farmer's Daughter", the movie Loretta Young got an Oscar for, and which I never liked! I'm definitely going to watch this one!
