City Girl is a 1930 American silent film directed by F.W. Murnau, and starring Charles Farrell and Mary Duncan.
A version of the film, with some sound elements, was made alongside the silent version. The film is credited as being the primary inspiration for Terrence Malick's Days of Heaven.
The city girl Kate falls in love with farmer Lem. He takes Kate to his family farm but Kate has trouble being accepted by the family.
City Girl was shot on location in Athena and Pendleton, Oregon. According to research by film historians, a farm was constructed for the making of the film.
According to a newspaper article in the Heppner Gazette-Times on the arrival of Murnau and actress Mary Duncan in Pendleton, the film's original working title was Our Daily Bread. Upon her arrival to shoot the film in August 1928, Duncan was granted the Round-Up Queen of the 1928 Pendleton Round-Up rodeo.
