Heaven with a Barbed Wire Fence (1939)

Directed by Ricardo Cortez
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

Glenn Ford rides the freight trains west from New York City, teaming up along the way with a young girl and seasoned hobo. He teaches them how to get free meals and hop on the trains. The police finally catch up to the girl, who is an illegal immigrant, forcing a marriage to keep her in the country. When they finally reach their dream ranch in Arizona, it turns out to be a run down shack. Don't worry, this is depression era Hollywood and there is a happy ending. Forgettable fluff written by Dalton Trumbo.
