Elisha and Abigail Hunt (Claude Rains and Wanda Hendrix) are a most unusual couple in this story circa 1906. He is an older educated man...a bit of a bore, really. She is young but also extremely sheltered...knowing very little of the world outside her extremely conservative Connecticut town. When a newcomer arrives in town (Macdonald Carey), the marriage is thrown for a few bumps, to say the least.
The story is okay. It has some interesting aspects but left me feeling a tad disappointed by the ending which is strongly influenced by the production code. Things just worked out too nicely at the end for it to see very realistic. Not a bad story...but one that seemed in need of a slight re-write.
