What happens
The Farmer Takes a Wife is a 1953 Technicolor musical comedy film starring Betty Grable and Dale Robertson. The picture is a remake of the 1935 film of the same name which starred Janet Gaynor and Henry Fonda. Grable and Dale Robertson first appeared together in the movie Call Me Mister (1951). A Gable biographer called it "probably the weakest film in Grable's oevure, owing mostly to its mundane screenplay and turgid, uninspired, staging." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
