Small Town Girl is a 1936 American romantic comedy film directed by William A. Wellman and starring Janet Gaynor, Robert Taylor, and James Stewart.

The script is credited to John Lee Mahin, Edith Fitzgerald, and the husband-and-wife team of Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich.

One of them, Robert Dakin, a socially prominent surgeon from Boston, asks her for directions to a popular roadhouse and takes her there to join in the fun.

One night, Kay gets a telephone call from Bob's clinic urgently summoning him to perform emergency brain surgery on Jimmy, a young patient.

After telling Kay that he has lost his way to Reno and never wants to find it, they drive off together.”[2] TCM’s Margarita Landazuri writes:” MGM had originally announced Small Town Girl as a vehicle for Jean Harlow.

Janet Gaynor had been 20th Century Fox's most important star in the late silent and early talkie period.
