The Farmer Takes a Wife

For his film debut, Henry Fonda reprised his Broadway triumph as Dan Harrow, a struggling farmer in rural 1850s New York who takes a canal boat job in order to make ends meet, and winds up falling for ship’s cook Molly Larkins (Janet Gaynor). While she returns his interest, Molly wants no part of having to work the land...will their relationship wind up running aground? Charles Bickford, Andy Devine, and Slim Summerville co-star in this charming romantic comedy; Victor Fleming directs. 91 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
