The Wedding Night (1935)

Because his finances are low and he is seeking background for a new book, author Tony Barratt and his wife Dora return to his country home in Connecticut. While he is finding material for his book on the lives and customs of the local immigrant tobacco farmers, his wife returns to New York and, alas, his Japanese servant deserts him. He meets neighboring farm girl Manya Novak and hires her to cook his meals and clean his house. They soon fall in love, but following the customs of the old country, her father has entered a 'marriage bargain' for her to wed Fredrik Sobieski, a man not of her choosing.
