State Fair is actually a pretty good movie that's mostly just a vehicle for Janet Gaynor. But it ends up being more than that with the help of Will Rogers and Lew Ayres.
The story revolves around a farming family who enters a prize pig in the State Fair. The two children of the family go off on their own separate adventures while the two parents stay with the pig.
Gaynor is one of the children and she meets and falls in love with Ayres. Their chemistry together is a very intriguing one. Will Rogers is the father who is mostly the comic relief.
You'll most likely like the film and it deserves to be liked. Its a great gem from the early '30s that isn't seen much anymore.
I was able to finally watch the film when it was on The Fox Movie Channel last year. It might be on again soon. I suggest you find out.
