Desc: The Luck of Lost Wife Creek: Directed by Donna Todd. With Fernando Montano Galvañ, Vanessa Quinones, Donna Todd, Frank Howard. 1933; the Great Depression; prohibition still in force. The men seek out the local bootlegger; the visit depletes the women's hard-come-by savings. A woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do, and the Nest-Egg Caper is hatched.
