The Vanishing Virginian was adapted from the autobiographical bestseller by Rebecca Yancey Williams. Kathryn Grayson stars as Ms. Williams, a headstrong Southern girl growing up in the early Twentieth Century. Rebecca sets her conservative household on its ear when she joins the woman's suffrage movement, despite the objections of her father, Robert Yancey (Frank Morgan), a lifelong civil servant. In the tradition of Life with Father, the film is really about the dad rather than the daughter: his abiding love for his family, his eccentricities, his occasional bullheadedness, and his grudging acceptance of social changes. Also starring Mark Daniels, Johnny Mitchell, and Natalie Thompson.
