Talk about the only gay in the village - this town of about a dozen folks appears to have about a 25% rate - which only adds to the rather daftness of it all. The acting is truly wooden - except, perhaps for Nan Martin as the busybody, but well meaning "Widow Thayer" - and although the film relies not a jot on any sense of "beauty" to relay the romance, nor does it relay any sense of innovation or novelty with the characters. Did they get together, did he just go home - not sure I was really bothered.
