The Farmer Takes a Wife 1953 N/R, 80 min. Genre: Musical
Director: Henry Levin Cast: Betty Grable, Dale Robertson, Thelma Ritter, John Carroll, Eddie Foy Jr., Charlotte Austin, Kathleen Crowley, Merry Anders, May Wynn, Gwen Verdon
This musical remake of the 1935 version is OK fare, but it drags too much. It is the story of an Erie Canal worker (Dale Robertson) who falls in love and becomes a farmer.
