This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.90.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:02, 6 April 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Montana Moon''''' is a 1930 [[pre-Code]] [[Western (genre)|Western]] [[musical film|musical]] film which introduced the concept of the [[singing cowboy]] to the screen. Starring [[Joan Crawford]], [[Johnny Mack Brown]], [[Dorothy Sebastian]], and [[Ricardo Cortez]], the film focuses on the budding relationship between a city girl and a rural cowboy.<ref name="TCM">((cite web |url=https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/3380/montana-moon#articles-reviews?articleId=954 |title=Montana Moon |publisher=Turner Classic Movies |access-date=December 12, 2020))</ref>

==Plot==
Joan Prescott ([[Joan Crawford]]) is a vacuous and flirtatious daughter of the wealthy [[Montana]] rancher, John Prescott ([[Lloyd Ingraham]]). On the train, Joan's sister, Elizabeth ([[Dorothy Sebastian]]) tells her she's in love with Jeff ([[Ricardo Cortez]]). Jeff is more smitten with Joan, and kisses her. Joan then impulsively gets off at the next whistle stop, where she meets Larry ([[Johnny Mack Brown]]), a [[Texas]] [[cowboy]]. He is a rancher on John Prescott's land, and does not know who Joan is. He expresses dismay at how spoiled Prescott's daughters are. Joan conceals her identity, refusing to say her name. She tells him to think of something he loves and call her that, and he chooses "Montana".

Joan and Larry fall for one another, and are married. When they return to her father's ranch, the couple are nervous that he will not approve of the pairing. However, to their surprise, John Prescott is delighted for the couple, and believes that Larry is the kind of person who can finally settle Joan. At their party, celebrating their nuptials, Joan sees Jeff, with whom Joan does a daring dance. As they finish dancing, Joan and Jeff share a lingering kiss. After Jeff and Larry come to blows, Joan is embarrassed that Larry resorted to violence.

As Joan became familiar with Larry's posse of cowboy friends, she wants Larry to be accustomed to her group of [[highbrow]] city friends who are in Montana with John Prescott. She wants to go back to New York, where the couple can live comfortably, but Larry feels it is his duty as a husband to provide for his wife, and having her father take care of him is not an option.

Later at another party, Larry catches Jeff trying to make another move on Joan, and the married couple get into a fight. In a fit of [[Rage (emotion)|rage]], she tells Larry that marrying him was the greatest mistake of her life, and tells him to leave her alone. As he is walking away, she realizes her mistake and begs to be forgiven, but he rebuffs her. Even John Prescott advises him to forgive her, but Larry sees too many differences between the two to make the marriage work.

With the marriage over, and Larry refusing to speak to Joan, the Prescotts—Joan in tow—decide to take the train back to New York. En route, the [[Train robbery|train is held up]] by masked cowboys, who take Joan as their only [[hostage]]. However, the whole robbery is a ruse, and one of the masked cowboys is Larry, who has come to take Joan back to their new life.

==Production==
As opposed to filming in [[Monument Valley]] or in California's [[Sierra Nevada (U.S.)|Sierra Nevadas]], director Malcolm St. Clair sent the cast to Montana for location shooting. The change in scenery and remoteness of the location helped create a strong sense of cohesion among the cast and crew, who spent most of their off hours together playing games and rehearsing scenes.<ref name="TCM" />

Because of delays in getting the [[Screenplay|script]] through the [[Production Code Administration]], the film was completed before any requisite changes were requested to get the film past local censors. By the time St. Clair got the lengthy list of cuts, it was too late to go back to Montana and re-shoot the necessary scenes. For instance, all shots of drinking be had to be eliminated since the country was still under [[Prohibition in the United States|Prohibition]]. This meant that both scenes from the wedding celebration in which people were shown drinking in the background and scenes in which Joan gets tipsy at her own wedding had to be cut. Unfortunately, those scenes explained Joan's flirtatious behavior with Jeff; so, instead of seeming innocently drunk, the character comes off as promiscuous.<ref name="TCM" />
