This movie is like...


I tried to add a recommendation...but I'm not sure it worked...

Anyway...it you like Small Town Girl you would probably like The Doctor Takes a Wife (1940)

It's a similar cute old black-N-white romantic comedy...

The plot is: A man-hating author and a woman-hating doctor have to pretend they're married when there are rumors of their marriage and each stands to gain from the mistake.

Starring Loretta Young, Ray Milland, Gail Patrick, Reginald Gardiner, Edmund Gwenn.

There are also similarities to "Christmas in Connecticut".

Another black-N-white romantic comedy... although not necessarily similar ... but still cute is...

Cross-Country Romance (1940)

The Plot: A runaway heiress hides in a doctor's trailer for a rollicking trip to San Francisco.

Starring Gene Raymond, Wendy Barrie and Hedda Hopper

It's a cross between "It Happened One Night" and "The Long Long Trailer"

I happened to catch both movies on TCM. Check 'em out. :)

Another movie in a similar vein is Without Love (1945) with Tracy and Hepburn. They play two scientists in wartime DC. There is a housing shortage so they get married so they can live together.

Nobody gets to be a cowboy forever.
