THE FARMER'S DAUGHTER
(RKO Radio)
| ‘THIS film presents Loretta Young with the chance to speak with what passes for a Swedish accent, stand for Coneress and vet herself elec-
ted, and be wooed by Joseph Cotten. It presents Mr. Cotten with the chance to become involved in some real rough-and-tumble action, take orders from Ethel Barrymore as his mother, and, of course, woo and finally win Miss Young. It presents Charles Bickford, a good but neglected actor, with the chance to impersonate an unofthodox butler and to tutor Miss Young, chambermaid in a Congressman’s household, in political opposition to her employers. It presents the producer with the chance to indulge in some leg-pulling at the expense of American politics, and particularly State elections for Congress. Since these are a rather specialised interest, the leg-pulling probably won’t extend New Zealanders as much as it might if they were Americans. All the same a considerable amount of wit, ingenuity, and competent acting has obviously gone into the production of this picture, and quite enough of it emerges on the screen to make The Farmer’s Daughter well worth your notice if you. are in the mood to be amused.
