The Egg and I (1947)

1947 · 108 min · Comedy, Romance

World War II veteran Bob MacDonald surprises his new wife, Betty, by quitting his city job and moving them to a dilapidated farm in the country. While Betty gamely struggles with managing the crumbling house and holding off nosy neighbors and a recalcitrant pig, Bob makes plans for crops and livestock. The couple's bliss is shaken by a visit from a beautiful farm owner, who seems to want more from Bob than just managing her property.

Directed by Chester Erskine. Starring Claudette Colbert, Fred MacMurray, Marjorie Main, Louise Allbritton and Percy Kilbride.
