Details
Movie Description
Torch singer Joan Gordon (Barbara Stanwyck) will do anything to be rid of her mob past. The film begins when she leaves racketeer lover Eddie (Lyle Talbot) behind for life in a Montreal hotel. When she hears Eddie is in hot pursuit, Joan switches places with a hotel maid who has just become a mail-order bride to Jim Gilson (George Brent), a wheat farmer in North Dakota. There Joan initially rebuffs her new spouse after his uncomfortable romancing. But the married twosome attempts to plow the fields and build a life until rival farmer Bull McDowell (David Landau) threatens to buy Jim's land. Another unwelcome sort, Eddie, later reenters the picture to get back his erstwhile mistress. With Joan and Jim's love already shaky, they will need to work together to overcome the challenges that face them. The screenplay, directed with hilarious precision by William Wellman, is based on the novel THE MUD LARK by Arthur Stringer.
Synopsis
A torch singer buys her way into an arranged marriage with a farmer to escape her racketeer boyfriend.
Film Notes
