Features Loretta Young's Academy Award performance
Fresh from the farm and ambitious to become a nurse in the big city,  Swedish-born American Katrin Holstom (Loretta Young) finds herself deceived and flat broke in “The Farmer’s Daughter.” Desperate, she takes a temporary position as a housemaid in the home of Congressman Glenn Morley (Joseph Cotten).<br /><br />Katie has considerable common sense about how things ought to be. As she carries trays of refreshments and goes about her housework, she hears lots of political talk and can’t help offering her opinions. Longtime butler Clancy (Charles Bickford) tells her to go about her duties quietly.<br /><br />Morley and his mother (Ethel Barrymore), an important backer of party candidates, decide to run A.J. Finley (Art Baker) as their candidate in a special election. At a rally for Finley, Katie confronts the candidate publicly with his poor voting record. The rival party (Democrats and Republicans are never mentioned) calls Katie in, sizes her up, and asks her to run as their candidate for Congress.<br /><br />Naturally, this presents conflicts, but Katie sets out on an under-financed campaign as a dark horse. As time passes, her plain-talking speeches muster consistently increasing support among voters and the polls show a significant shift, turning the upcoming election into a nail-biter. Meanwhile, a growing admiration between Morley and Katie blossoms into something more, complicating matters still further.<br /><br />When the opposition attempts to spread false information about Katie on the eve of the election, Morley, his mother, and Katie’s strapping brothers (Lex Barker, James Arness, Keith Andes) pitch in to sort things out, not always in the gentlest way possible. Katie recalls the words of her father when she was about to leave the farm: look after yourself and don’t back down when you’re right.<br /><br />Katie’s home state is never mentioned but it is likely Minnesota, which has a large Scandinavian population. The movie is based on the Finnish play, “Hulda, Daughter of Parliament.” David O Selznick bought the screen rights and wanted to cast Ingrid Bergman, but she declined the role. He tried casting Dorothy McGuire, then Sonja Henie, and eventually sold the rights to R-K-O Pictures. However, Selznick’s pre-production influence is evident in its art direction, cinematography, and casting. Many of the actors in the movie had worked previously for or were under contract to him. The working title for the movie, “Katie for Congress,” was changed to the racier-sounding “The Farmer’s Daughter.”<br /><br />Advertised as a comedy — the trailer hails it as the “most enjoyable comedy of this or any year” — the movie has its funny moments but the underlying story touches on corruption, smear tactics, and political accountability. There is even a not-so-subtle reference to a particular character’s affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan, though the organization’s name is not mentioned, These themes are intricately woven through the fabric of the screenplay, with Ms. Young’s Katie gently championing the basics of American democracy. With a screenplay reminiscent of Frank Capra’s “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” “The Farmer’s Daughter” is notable for its portrayal of a strong-willed, intelligent woman who is thrust into a position she never imagined and sees it through.<br /><br />Ms. Young had a long professional career ranging from the silent era to her popular “Loretta Young Show,” which ran on TV for eight seasons. As Katie, she nails the Swedish accent and convinces us that her character has intelligence, integrity, and a clear career goal. As her lot changes, she never becomes a damsel in distress but deals with the situation and moves forward. She will not be defeated, no matter the obstacle.<br /><br />Even in an assortment of plain clothes and maid’s uniforms to make her look like a farm girl, her beauty is pure movie star. Her chemistry with Cotten is palpable even though Katie’s feelings toward her employer must initially be kept to herself. With her downcast gaze, sad eyes, and restrained body language, Ms. Young clearly conveys Katie’s growing romantic feelings for her boss.<br /><br />Loretta Young won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role in “The Farmer’s Daughter,” beating out the favorite, Rosalind Russell (“Mourning Becomes Elektra”), Susan Hayward (“Smash Up: The Story of a Woman”), Dorothy McGuire (“Gentlemen’s Agreement”), and Joan Crawford (“Possessed”).<br /><br />Bonus features include audio commentary by Australian film historian Lee Gambin and trailers for “The Farmer’s Daughter,” “The Stranger” (also starring Loretta Young); the David O. Selznick features “Since You Went Away,” “I’ll Be Seeing You,” “Duel in the Sun,” and “Portrait of Jennie;” and Alfred Hitchcock’s “Under Capricorn.”

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : Loretta Young (The Stranger) is The Farmer’s Daughter – blonde, brash and so hilariously heartwarming that she won the 1948 Academy Award® for Best Actress in a Leading Role. As Katrin, she romps through one uproarious romantic adventure after another, an independent farm girl who becomes a politician and captures the heart of a Congressman along the way. The outrageous antics begin when Katrin, fresh from the farm, arrives in Capitol City ready to take on the metropolis. She takes the very first job she can find: housemaid in the wealthy home of urbane Congressman Glenn Morley, charmingly played by Joseph Cotten (Portrait of Jennie). But she’s no sooner tied the apron strings around her waist than she’s running for Congress. To complicate matters further, Morley is developing a case of infatuation for Katrin – and it’s looking like love that knows no political bounds. Directed by H. C. Potter (Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House) and co-starring Ethel Barrymore (The Spiral Staircase), Charles Bickford (The Big Country) and Harry Davenport (The Ox-Bow Incident). Bickford was nominated for the Best Actor in a Supporting Role Academy Award®.Special Features:-Audio Commentary by Film Historian Lee Gambin -Theatrical Trailer.
