Description   Lem goes to Chicago to sell the wheat his family has grown on their farm in Minnesota. There he meets the waitress Kate. They fall in love and get married before going back to the farm. Kate is accepted by Lem's mother and kid sister but is rejected by his father, who believes she married for the money. (And the fact that Lem didn't get a fair price for the wheat is her fault too). The reapers arrive and quickly they make things even more complicated by making their move on Kate. Lem misunderstands the situation and believes Kate is actually interested. In despair Kate leaves the farm and Lem goes looking for her. Director F.W. Murnau began City Girl as a silent film, hoping to match the artistic triumph of his earlier Sunrise. Murnau was frustrated by two elements: Fox's decision to hastily convert the film into a talkie, and his inability to secure the services of Sunrise star Janet Gaynor. This version is the silent film. The director was forced by the studio to substitute the pretty but untalented Mary Duncan, reportedly because she was the girlfriend of one of the studio executives. The resulting film is this drama. Based on Elliot Lester's play The Mud Turtle, City Girl has a fascinating image or two to its credit, but the film is an ordinary effort for the otherwise imaginative F.W. Murnau. The 1938 20th Century-Fox film City Girl is not a remake.   Cast Charles Farrell  - Lem Tustine David Torrence  - Tustine Pat Rooney  - Butch Jack Pennick  - Reaper Guinn "Big Boy" Williams  - Reaper Edith Yorke  - Mrs. Tustine Ed Brady  - Reaper Roscoe Ates  - Reaper Richard Alexander  - Mac Anne Shirley  - Mary Tustine Tom McGuire  - Matey Eddie Boland    Mary Duncan  - Kate
