Description
On the first day of the Iowa State Fair, both Margy Frake and her brother Wayne find romance. Will their new-found relationships continue after the fair is over? (1945 version). The story shifts from Iowa to Texas in the 1962 version.There's a country-mouse feeling as the Frake family journeys to the big city for the annual harvest celebration. Young daughter Margy has her eye on something more exciting than her bore of a fiancé, while her brother meets a lovely big-band singer with a secret. But the bucolic, Old Farmer's Almanac feel is genuine, and it's most obviously a picture of a bygone era when someone expostulates gleefully, "You're gonna be the wife of a journalist!" Not a "don't miss" but not a dismiss either.
