★★★★ · Worth seeing. · jvervalen · 2005-11-23
This film although kinda corney by our standards today, is a very good example of the innocese of the 30's and a very refreshing look back at yesteryear. This is a love story/intreage and you can still find this type of story line in lots of todays movies. Again this movie is worth seeing if only for letting yourself go and relive the way people tryed to escape the depression.
★★★★ · Good movie · jimelena · 2006-11-13
I really wanted to not like this movie. But I did like it, so it must be pretty not bad.
