Not a very well-remembered movie. But one that features Dorothy McGuire in a leading role. The story of Claudia was originally a series of Redbook and Good Housekeeping magazine stories by Rose Franken. The stories were popular enough to be adapted for radio and eventually for the stage on Broadway, where it ran for 722 performances and starred McGuire. And she portrays the character onscreen for the film adaptation, once again playing a young, confused wife (married to Robert Young). The couple live out on a small farm. Claudia is very unhappy and wants to live closers to her mother in the city. Desperate to make some changes, she sells the farm and tries to break up her marriage by having an affair with a neighbor. Matters get complicated when she discovers she's going to have a baby and her mother falls ill. I dont' remember what happens at the end.Read Laura's review of this movie from her blog Laura's Miscellaneous Musings.
