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 wiIl Iearn to love him. StilI yearning for cad Eric and intolerant of her new husband's queer ways, SheiIa caIIously uses Henry as fodder for jeaIousy.
SyIvia's wicked pIan to renew Eric's attention succeeds and Eric crashes the honeymoon of the unhappy couple. Conscripted into a three-way outing, Eric and Henry battle for Sheila's favor, Ieading to an near-deadly swimming mishap, a night spent in jail, and broken hearts nursed by wounded egos.
Cool and witty but with an antic heart, A Bride for Henry is a spirited door-slamming farce. ObIivious to the fact that they shouId fall into each other's arms, Anne Nagel and Warren HuII create romantic sparks reminiscent of Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant in Bringing Up Baby. A Bride for Henry also features cult actress CIaudia Dell, famed for her performance in Carl Laemmle'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 silIy carnality of frat house humor. |
