The Egg and I

A best seller becomes a best picture !

A warm, playful romantic comedy about newlyweds adjusting to rural farm life, with gentle domestic comedy and a touch of romantic tension.

World War II veteran Bob MacDonald surprises his new wife, Betty, by quitting his city job and moving them to a dilapidated farm in the country. While Betty gamely struggles with managing the crumbling house and holding off nosy neighbors and a recalcitrant pig, Bob makes plans for crops and livestock. The couple's bliss is shaken by a visit from a beautiful farm owner, who seems to want more from Bob than just managing her property.
