Directed by Wesley Ruggles
USA 1935
Screen icons Claudette Colbert (The Gilded Lily, It Happened One Night) and Fred MacMurray (Hands Across the Table, Double Indemnity) co-star in this classic screwball comedy set against the backdrop of Chicago during the Depression. At the center of a romantic triangle is Jeannette Desmereau (Colbert), a socialite left penniless by the stock market crash who takes a job as a writer for a men’s magazine. Her two on-again, off-again suitors just happen to be her hard-boiled editor Cyrus Anderson (MacMurray) and the company’s wealthy owner, Jack Bristow (Robert Young, Crossfire). Tempers flare, opposites attract and true love wins out at the end in this fast-paced delight directed by Wesley Ruggles (No Man of Her Own) and featuring memorable comic turns by supporting players Edgar Kennedy (Duck Soup), Donald Meek (You Can’t Take It with You) and William Collier Sr. (All of Me). *** A penniless socialite is hired by two young men as a front in their plan to start a magazine. Soon, however, they find themselves more interested in her than in their publishing venture. |

On their
Blu-ray,
Kino use a DTS-HD Master dual-mono track (16-bit) in the
original English language.
The Bride Comes Home
has no aggressive moments and authentically has modest depth plus
an uncredited score by John Leipold (Merrily
We Go To Hell,
Christmas
in July, The
Devil is a Woman,
The
Flying Deuces,
Duck Soup,) Heinz Roemheld (Ruby
Gentry,
I,
Jane Doe, Dangerous,
The
Monster that Challenged The World, The
Land Unknown,
The Mole People, 1933's
The Invisible Man) and Tom Satterfield (Go'in
To Town) sounding moderately scattered at times but dialogue is
all audible and no egregious flaws. Kino offer optional English
subtitles on their Region 'A'
Blu-ray.
The Kino
Blu-ray
Wesley Ruggles' The Bride Comes Home has screwball elements and
it's pretty fun. While I enjoyed
The Gilded Lily more, this is still a film I could watch at any
time with its prevalent social commentary on class, humor and romance - helping me escape
from the modern madness in which we are currently residing. Colbert
helps carry The Bride Comes Home and MacMurray is a perfect foil
for her - their chemistry is very evident. I'm appreciative that Kino
have released this on Blu-ray,
despite the imperfections, and the Gambin commentary carries excellent
value. I suspect that completists for
Colbert/MacMurray films and
screwball/romantic comedy vintage-era devotees would be the prime
audience. |
