Here comes the bride—there goes the groom!
The night before Mary Clay’s (Joan Crawford) wedding, her flaky fiancé Dillon elopes with someone else. Mary’s friend Jeff grabs his chance to buck up the jilted bride—and pitch some woo. Then Dillon reenters Mary’s life and she must choose between the two men.
Since Clark Gable plays Jeff and Robert Montgomery plays Dillon, it’s a choice any woman would love to make!
The three stars prove marriage is a funny affair in this snappy, sophisticated comedy. Director W.S. Van Dyke (The Thin Man), scriptwriter Joseph L. Mankiewicz (All About Eve) and supporting comedy virtuosos Rosalind Russell, Billie Burke and Arthur Treacher put extra sparkle in the wedding punch.
