| The female lead being a "shy, plain spinster wooed by a morally suspect charmer"(and is Marian necessarily plain?)may be common to both but "the plot is basically the same as The Heiress" is NOT correct. There is a father in the Henry James story and a very different outcome to the spinster's life. | |

| It might be more akin to THE RAINMAKER/110 IN THE SHADE, although in that story, the spinster taken with the handsome drifter, certainly makes different choices than Marian does. | |

| Also, in at least the '49 film version of The Heiress, Catherine wears her hair and dresses in a way that makes her look plain and dowdy. However, after her father dies and she gains confidence, she reveals herself to be quite handsome, which wasn't too difficult since Olivia de Havilland was a breathtakingly beautiful woman. | |

| Learning that he played Harold Hill is not so surprising, when one thinks that, later, O'Rourke in F Troop was a supreme con man too - and had Agarn for his Marcellus. | |
