An essay by film historian John DiLeo about the film Primrose Path (1940) starring Joel McCrea and Ginger Rogers. Excerpted from John DiLeos Screen Savers II: My Grab Bag of Classic Movies, Primrose Path (1940): Ginger Rogers and the Oldest Profession. The melodrama may sometimes be coarse, and some of the comedy less than organic, but the movie is tonally rich and diverse, and the feelings beneath the contrivances ring true.
