A feature-length film by Kuchar, this movie is a parody of postwar Hollywood melodramas, a time when studios were trying to be more mature. The story follows a nurse who escapes her unhappy marriage in the city to find a better life in Oklahoma. The film blends homage and satire, imitating and criticizing the work of directors like Sirk, Preminger, and Minnelli, while also incorporating suggestive and humorous elements.
