Small Town Girl

"The most widely read romance of the year...with new romantic team!"

1936-04-10 Comedy 1hr 46m

Kay is a girl living in a small rural town whose life is just too dull and repetitious to bear. One night, she meets young, handsome, and rich Bob Dakin, who asks her for directions while drunk and then proceeds to take her out on a night on the town. Kay likes the stranger, and when the drunken Bob decides that they should get married, Kay hesitates little before consenting. The morning after the affair, Bob, once sober, regrets his mistake. His strict and upright parents, however, insist that the young couple pretend marriage for 6 months before divorcing, in order to avoid bad publicity. Bob resents Kay for standing in the way of him and his fiancée, Priscilla, but Kay still hopes that he'd have a change of heart.

An ideal example of "act in haste, repent at leisure" this one, as poor old "Rob Dakin" (Robert Taylor) quite literally stumbles upon the bored "Kay" (Janet Gaynor) in her out of the way town. She takes an immediate shine to him, and on his drunken whim they marry... Next morning, he wakes up with a bit more than an hangover but his well-to-do parents insist that they sit tight for six months before divorcing. Less scandalous that way? Needless to say, his erstwhile fiancée "Priscilla" (Binnie Barnes) is none to pleased by her now ex-beau's activities - and "Kay" is still quite keen to hang onto to him. What will the six months bring? It's an enjoyable - if predictable - little caper this, with both Taylor and Gaynor on fine form. The comedy is simple, but still quite engaging and Binnie Barnes and Andy Divine (or, more specifically, his falsetto voice) work well to keep the pace moving along nicely. It is too long - the middle of the film has a bit of a paunch to it, but when the two at the top of the bill are on screen together, it's an amiable enough film to watch.
