Romance of the Limberlost (1938)
An orphaned girl is being raised in the Limberlost (timbered swamp in the American south)by her aunt, who hates her because the girl's mother married the man that the aunt loved. The girl's existence is close to being servitude bondage, and her only companions are the birds and the animals of the forest. She meets and falls in love with a young man whose ambition is to be a lawyer. But her aunt is arranging for her to be married to the wealthiest man in the Limberlost, a drunken, coarse bully.

Whether Romance of the Limberlost qualifies as a good movie or not, is up for debate. But for a Monogram drama it's as ambitious as it gets. All of it's main stars regularly work for bigger studios. The story is serious literature. And they make fine use of outdoors and studio settings. Limberlost is also overly sentimental in it's execution. Almost like a theater play at times the way it's being presented. There is no escaping that the direction lacks important touches.
