Social climbing golfer
Love In The Rough casts a young Robert Montgomery as a shipping clerk in J.C. Nugent's department store who happens to be a greatamateur golfer. Just the
man to help Nugent with his game so he brings Montgomery alongt to his country club. There Montgomery meets and romances Dorothy Jordan who
assumes he's as rich as all the others there.
This s a remake of William Haines's silent classic Spring Fever and it would have been a whole lot better without an incredibly insipid score from Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields. Made worse by the fact that neither Jordan or Montgomery could sing a lick.
No doubt that MGM saw in Montgomery someone wh could eplace Bill Hines and at the begnning of his career Montgomery was playing smart aleck parts like Haines. Either those or cads or punks. Montgomery was also safely straight in the studio's eyes and Haines was beginning to rebel against the studio enforced closet.
Love In The Rough would have been somuch better without the music.
