THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED (1940)

IMMIGRANT TONY PATUCCI MAY BE THE SUCCESSFUL OWNER OF A VINEYARD IN CALIFORNIA, BUT HE'S SELF-CONSCIOUS ABOUT HIS POOR ENGLISH AND LACKS SOCIAL GRACE. WHEN HE SPIES FETCHING WAITRESS AMY, HE DECIDES TO PURSUE HER BY LETTER AND TOSSES IN A PHOTO OF HIS HANDSOME FOREMAN JOE FOR GOOD MEASURE. WHEN AMY COMES TO VISIT, SHE'S FURIOUS AT THE DECEPTION. TONY EVENTUALLY WINS HER OVER, BUT SHE CAN'T IGNORE HER GROWING FEELINGS FOR JOE. STARRING CAROLE LOMBARD, CHARLES LAUGHTON, KARL MALDEN, HARRY CAREY, MARIE BLAKE.
