Dunne's first starring comedy role after several weepers was good enough to secure her an Oscar nomination, her second after the 1931 CIMARRON. Dunne plays the title role, a New England woman who writes a steamy best-seller about the morals of a sleepy little town located north of New
York City. The book takes off and she decides to see the big city for herself. Once she arrives in Manhattan she meets the ultrasophisticated artist (Douglas) who did the illustrations for her book, and her escapades begin, arising from her situation as a fish out of water in New York. The quaint
and hard-bitten Yankees from her village are examined vis-a-vis the sharp Big Apple types...
