They changed the law to 16 years old after this came out. By the way, I looked and they were married 60 years and had nine kids. Pretty crazy.

Even in 1937 they knew this was some bullshit

This dude's wife was so young she still carried a doll around with her. This wouldn't even have been acceptable in the Dark Ages.
