The Farmer's Daughter Ratings & Reviews
Esquire Magazine
Jack Moffitt
The Farmer's Daughter is an honestly liberal movie with no concealed jokes. It is thoroughly democratic and thoroughly entertaining.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Young won the Best Actress Oscar for her charming if hardly award-worthy turn (her win is still considered one of the biggest upsets in Oscar history).
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
It is a hopeful romantic melodrama which hits all the right notes of an optimistic post-WWII America obsessed with its own virtuousness.
TIME Magazine
James Agee
The Farmer's Daughter turns out to be excellent entertainment because Producer Dore Schary and his associates evidently know a good deal about the special kinds of people they are telling about.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Loretta Young won the Oscar for Potter's cheerful but naive upward mobility fable about an ambitious farm girl(of Swedish descent) who becomes a congresswoman and wins the man (Joseph Cotten).
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Charming film of a type completely absent these days.
