A ruraI drama set in lndiana's swamp country, A Girl of the Limberlost was the most elaborate production undertaken by modest Monogram Pictures in 1934.

WalthaII, Betty Blythe, Barbara Bedford, and HeIen Jerome Eddy. Based on a best-seIling novel previousIy adapted to the screen with considerable success, girI became a monster hit for the Poverty Row studio, reportedly earning a milIion dollars. The originaI story was filmed three more times, most recentIy as a 1990 TV movie. |
