As was the 1935 John Ford version with Henry Fonda. Leonard Maltin lists it
as a movie shown on television, but the video version seems to be quite
elusive. The Grable-Robertson remake was a musical, IIRC, and I wouldn't be
surprised if it was inferior to the original. I remember someone's comment
once to that effect.

Why doesn't someone film a Samuel Hopkins Adams novel?
