unfortunately, (Corwin's) interlinear reading appears to have been on the innocent side and his use of imagination circumspect and dull. “ Instead of finding “… something softly feminine and romantic, Mr. Corwin has made her out to be a somewhat metallic former high priestess of a pagan theology who backslides her own religion and is married to a Judean because of his more comforting god. The two talk religion, not sweet nothings, when they get alone beneath the stars. And you might think this same writer could have arranged for Ruth something sweet and perhaps a little racy with her late husband's kinsman, Boaz, after she has been made a widow and fled to
Bethlehem with her mother-in-law. But Mr. Corwin has … concocted a rather stiff and pompous dramatic account of how the great-grandmother of King David got over being a Moabite and got herself married to a Judean by lying beside him on the threshing floor. (Mr. Corwin has not even let her go to that modest extreme. He has kept the two at arm's length, with only a tender look passing between.) And Mr. Engel and Henry Koster.. have followed a stiff and pompous line in putting a potentially romantic and poetic story on the screen. Their style, decorative and dramatic, is ornate, heavy and grim, pretentious of deep spiritual meaning but without convincing throb of flesh or soul. ”

When Boaz learns that Naomi has returned, he sends provisions to them, respecting his obligation as a kinsman. Believing Boaz to be fiercely anti-Moabite, Ruth compels Naomi to refuse the provisions. Captivated by Ruth’s beauty, Boaz arranges for another kinsman, Tob, to take Boaz’s provisions to Naomi and Ruth. Tob initially doesn’t want to oblige, but after seeing Ruth, Tob agrees to Boaz’s arrangement, taking credit for generosity. A wise Naomi is skeptical of Tob’s uncharacteristic caring. Meanwhile, Boaz visits Naomi and Ruth to convince them to accept his help. After Boaz assists Ruth against a mob of hostile women at a well, Ruth becomes aware of his noble nature. Eventually, Boaz and Ruth fall in love, but Tob claims his right under the laws of God to marry Mahlon’s widow as closest kinsman.

607:. Explaining the problem of building the box-office appeal of a Biblical story, Engel said: “It is a sweet pastoral love story. It has an underlying theme of tolerance. It has the beauty of a lovely tone poem. But even if it was blown up, I couldn't see it as a movie,” Engel told Schumack.—except as a musical. “But then I figured it would be dull…” In the end, he and Corwin decided to concentrate on the character of Ruth. However, Schumack reports, “Love ran too smoothly in the Bible.” Complications were needed. They also had a free hand in creating Moabite culture. “It is all treated with the greatest respect of course,“ Engel said. “after all you must remember that Ruth was the great-grandmother of David and an ancestor of Jesus.”
