That was one stupid movie. If I were the Loretta Young character, I would have killed Tracy's character within the first week.
He was never even slightly likable.
Sure, at first, she just needed a place to stay, so fine. But he was a complete jerk (being nice here) to her throughout their entire relationship. There is absolutely no way that she would ever have stayed with a man like that, even in the Depression.
I guess it's lucky that this film was made before the Code came to Hollywood or it never would have been made. Or, actually, perhaps we, the audience, were unlucky because, as I said, it was one stupid movie.
