Montana Moon

TBA • NR • Series • Catalog pick

Wealthy New York party girl Joan Prescott (Joan Crawford) has lassoed herself a cowboy! Not that she plans to when she heads west to her family's Montana ranch. But she steps off the train at a nowhere town to elude an on-board lothario, meets a handsome crooning cowhand named Larry, and soon the two are like doves ready to nest at the Montana ranch. Yet the honeymoon may be short when straight-arrow Larry sees Joan's exotic tango with a city slicker. Once a party girl, never a wife? Crawford makes herself at home under a Montana Moon, playing the kind of Jazz Age flapper that shot her to stardom in Our Dancing Daughters. Drawling screen buckaroo John Mack Brown costars in a sometimes saucy pre-Code film that was the first to bring a singing cowboy to a non-variety talkie. Crooning cowpokes Ken Maynard, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers and more would later blaze tuneful trains that all stretch from this moonlit Montana. Only the best buy direct from GRUV
