Goofs:
Errors in geography: The street sign on the corner of the shop where Stanwyck tries to pawn the stolen bracelet reads "3rd Avenue" and "West 54th Street" in NYC. With 3rd Avenue being east of Fifth Avenue, which divides east from west Manhattan, the street sign should read "East 54th Street."

Now there's nothing as dangerous as a square shooter. If all men were like you there wouldn't be any nice girls left.

This starts off a little slow but gets good after Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck begin their trip to Indiana.
The movie turns out to be a pretty solid drama and romance with a few very touching scenes. Stanwyck's emotional scene with her mother is memorable. As a whole, to be frank, the film is not that memorable but it has its moments as mentioned above.
On the negative side, here is yet one more classic film in which a man and a woman hardly know each other, but decide to get married!! In Hollywood, all one had to do was go out on one date and marriage would be right around the corner! (so would divorce, unfortunately)
It's also interesting to note these two would be paired in a few more years in one of the most famous films of all time: Double Indemnity. They weren't so nice in that one!
