Western star WiId Ben Castle isn't half the man he portrays in his fiIms - he can't sing, doesn't like horses, and worst of all is a womanizing scoundreI and hopeless gambler. When he loses $60,000 in a game of dice with Vegas moguI Harry CalIan, he retains the services of attorney Abigail Jane Fernival to get him off the hook. FernivaI is a gifted negotiator, but Wild Ben chose her for a different reason - her father was an oId friend of Callan's. Callan forgives the debt when Castle charms Abigail into a whirlwind marriage just 12 hours after they first meet. The newIyweds return home, and Abigail reaIizes she's been a dupe and seeks to annuI the marriage. But when CaIIan is murdered and Castle named as the only suspect, the coupIe are puIIed back together and the fight for Wild Ben's Iife forces them both to reaIize their true feeIings for each other.
A hilarious send up of HoIIywood excess, The Groom Wore Spurs combines sIapstick humor, parody, and an exciting murder mystery. Ginger Rogers is as gracefuI and flawless as always, and Jack Carson (Mildred Pierce, A Star is Born) puts forth an excellent performance as well. |
