I'll Wait for You

"I'll Wait for You" is a heartwarming, idealistic 1940's movie starring Robert Sterling, Marsha Hunt and Virginia Weidler.

The movie begins with wideboy, gangster, Lucky Wilson, who is the muscles of a gangster mob in New York. He goes around intimidating new business owners and picking up "dames". In an attempt to escape from the police, Lucky takes a trip to Salisbury, Connecticut. On being shot, a farm family take him in and help him get better, during which time Lucky falls for the sweet farmer's daughter, Pauline Miller. After a short romance, where Lucky neglects to mention his rough background, the police catch up with him, things start to unravel very quickly.
