Reviews
There's some pretty good acting here. Ginger Rogers is "Ellie May" who lives in a ramshackle house with her mum, dipso father and her sister. When she meets a local blue collar gent "Ed" (Joel McCrae) they are soon smitten - the only snag is, she had omitted telling him some fairly important details from her past and when he finds out, their relationship becomes strained and compromised.
