A couple of girls (Played by Jeanne Crain and June Haver, both future Fox stars) are in the mix as well, and if you like trotting horses, and racing, you will enjoy this lovely slice of life, with outdoors prominently featured. It should refresh and invigorate you.
Walter Brennan and Charlotte Greenwood are very good in the early part of the film and are convincing as the tough, unsentimental guardians of Sparke, played by Lon McAllister. Jeanne Crain is fresh and likable and was clearly a face, body and personality to watch, though she looked much prettier and sexier a year later in STATE FAIR. June Haver presents us with her doll-like perfection and seems as bright, chilly and inhuman as ever (she later became Mrs. Fred MacMurray after a stay in a convent).
The real find here was Lon McAllister. Poised and completely charming, he had an easy way with dialogue, an expressive face and an ingratiating smile. This should have been the beginning of big things for him, but it wasn't. Too bad the perky, Mickey Rooney boy-next-door types were going out of fashion (Rooney himself never regained the stardom he enjoyed before he went into the military during WWII.) McAllister ought to have succeeded in television, but perhaps he tired of show business. Wonder what happened to him after this?
The list of filming locations does credit Marion, as well as several other locations where harness racing was one of the main local pastimes
I do enjoy the movie and try to catch it whenever it is on (generally on the FOX movie channel).
Focusing on three in the cast, this was Jeanne Crain's first notable role, and what a "natural" she is. Completely at home before the camera, she shows early on her quintessential "girl-next-door" charm.
Paired with the equally "boy-next-door" Lon Mcallister, the two are perfect together. Lon came with a full list of juvenile film roles, and looked like the personification of a callow Indiana farm boy.
As for the amazing Walter Brennan, this was just another of his inexhaustible number of roles, always appearing much older than he actually was.
A further look at Brennen's folio, he made a whopping 63 films in three years (1933-35)! Can you imagine that? I can't.
The three together, along with Charlotte Greenwood as the proverbial "farm marm," offer a most convincing group of typical ranchers, struggling between corn crop mores and big city conventions--the latter represented by June Haver.
And those mares--absolutely beautiful!
The film's rural Indiana setting is a character in itself, capturing the bucolic charm of the American Midwest with sweeping shots of open fields and horse stables.
However, Home in Indiana is not without its flaws. The pacing can be uneven at times, and some of the secondary characters feel underdeveloped. The film also leans heavily into sentimentality, which may not resonate with all modern times.
