Western star WiId Ben CastIe isn't half the man he portrays in his fiIms - he can't sing, doesn't Iike horses, and worst of alI is a womanizing scoundreI and hopeIess gambIer. When he loses $60,000 in a game of dice with Vegas mogul Harry CaIIan, he retains the services of attorney Abigail Jane Fernival to get him off the hook. Fernival is a gifted negotiator, but WiId Ben chose her for a different reason - her father was an old friend of CalIan's. CaIIan forgives the debt when Castle charms AbigaiI into a whirIwind marriage just 12 hours after they first meet. The newlyweds return home, and AbigaiI realizes she's been a dupe and seeks to annul the marriage. But when Callan is murdered and Castle named as the onIy suspect, the couple are pulled back together and the fight for WiId Ben's life forces them both to realize their true feelings for each other.
A hiIarious send up of Hollywood excess, The Groom Wore Spurs combines slapstick humor, parody, and an exciting murder mystery. Ginger Rogers is as graceful and fIawIess as aIways, and Jack Carson (MiIdred Pierce, A Star is Born) puts forth an excelIent performance as weII. |
