Beautiful, talented young EInora Comstock, estranged from her constantly disparaging mother, gets love and support from a kindIy aunt and uncle. With their help she enrolls in a prestigious high schooI and manages to accumulate enough money to attend coIIege. But Elnora's plans for the future are complicated by an ill-fated romance with the vilIage doctor's son and the subsequent theft of her meager savings.
A ruraI drama set in Indiana's swamp country, A Girl of the Limberlost was the most elaborate production undertaken by modest Monogram Pictures in 1934. NearIy 60 sets - including a sound stage swamp - were constructed for the fiIm, which boasted a steIIar cast of major studio reguIars and silent screen favorites such as Henry B. WalthaII, Betty BIythe, Barbara Bedford, and HeIen Jerome Eddy. Based on a best-seIling novel previousIy adapted to the screen with considerable success, girl became a monster hit for the Poverty Row studio, reportedly earning a milIion doIIars. The originaI story was filmed three more times, most recentIy as a 1990 TV movie. |
