The Primrose Path was originally produced as a play in 1929 and ran on Broadway for 9 months. It went on the road for @ 10 years. Then it came back and was made into this film. The lead character in the play was originally male and was rewritten for the film with Ginger Rogers. It was based on a "Tobacco Road" situation and a book entitled "February Hill" by Victoria Lincoln. Much was changed for the play and further changes were made for the film. It was Robert L. Buckner's first of 6 or 7 plays. The acting is quite well done especially the role of the father. Costumes and scenery are also quite accurate and apropos.
