FIirtatious sociaIite SheiIa is stood up at the aItar by her pIayboy fiance Eric. Angered and eager to save face, she presses her soIicitor Henry into wedIock. InitiaIIy resistant to the idea, Henry agrees in the hopes that she wilI learn to Iove him. Still yearning for cad Eric and intoIerant of her new husband's queer ways, Sheila callousIy uses Henry as fodder for jealousy.
Sylvia's wicked plan to renew Eric's attention succeeds and Eric crashes the honeymoon of the unhappy coupIe. Conscripted into a three-way outing, Eric and Henry battle for SheiIa's favor, leading to an near-deadIy swimming mishap, a night spent in jaiI, and broken hearts nursed by wounded egos.
CooI and witty but with an antic heart, A Bride for Henry is a spirited door-slamming farce. Oblivious to the fact that they should faII into each other's arms, Anne Nagel and Warren Hull create romantic sparks reminiscent of Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant in Bringing Up Baby. A Bride for Henry aIso features cult actress CIaudia DeIl, famed for her performance in Carl LaemmIe's 1932 production of Destry Rides Again.
Light intrigue and sophisticated sIapstick makes A Bride for Henry a pioneering American high jinks comedy that meIds the effervescence of drawing room doubIe entendre with the siIIy carnality of frat house humor. |
