THE FARMER'S DAUGHTER [BLU-RAY]

Details

• Release Year: 1947
• Genre: Drama, Romance
• Plot: Lorenà Young (The Stranger) is The Farmer's Daughter - blonde, brash and so hilariously heartwarming that she won the 1948 Academy Award® for Best Actress in a Leading Role. As Katrin, she romps through one uproarious romantic adventure after another, an independent farm girl who becomes a politician and captures the heart of a Congressman along the way. The outrageous antics begin when Katrin, fresh from the farm, arrives in Capitol City ready to take on the metropolis. She takes the very first job she can find: housemaid in the wealthy home of urbane Congressman Glenn Morley, charmingly played by Joseph Cotten (Portrait of Jennie). But she's no sooner tied the apron strings around her waist than she's running for Congress. To complicate matters further, Morley is developing a case of infatuation for Katrin - and it's looking like love that knows no political bounds. Directed by H. C. Potter (Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House) and co-starring Ethel Barrymore (The Spiral Staircase), Charles Bickford (The Big Country) and Harry Davenport (The Ox-Bow Incident). Bickford was nominated for the Actor in a Supporting Role Academy Award®
