IHRE BEWERTUNG

June Allyson and Van Johnson in The Bride Goes Wild (1948)

McGrath publishes children's book and Uncle Bump is one of the best sellers, but Greg, who is Uncle Bump, drinks too much and hasn't started his next book. Martha won a contest to illustrate the book and the first thing Greg does is get her soused. To keep her there to illustrate, John gets a juvenile delinquent named Danny to play his son and show how much pressure he is under. The ploy works at first, but Greg's heart was broken by Tillie, and Martha may be the girl who makes him forget all about her.

Wissenswertes
The title is a bit of a misnomer: there is no bride - the film ends with two people on their way to get married, so at best there's a fiancée.

Patzer
When Danny runs away and arrives at Tillie's place on the lake, different studio lights are reflected in the glass of the ant farm.

Zitate
John McGrath: Oh, Mother Goose.
Mother Goose: Yes, Mr. McGrath.
John McGrath: I put that raise through for you.
Mother Goose: Oh, thank you, Mr. McGrath.

The Uncle And The Ants

Martha Terryton (June Allyson) is a Vermont schoolteacher who wins a contest to illustrate the next book by popular children's author Greg Rawlings (Van Johnson). When she meets Rawlings, whose pen name is Uncle Bump, his moral turpitude conflicts with her moral rectitude. The publisher, John McGrath (Hume Cronyn), is caught in the middle, trying to get them to cooperate. He concocts a story that Rawlings is only acting out of frustration, because his son is a hellion. McGrath then recruits a prodigious troublemaker named Danny (Jackie "Butch" Jenkins) to pretend to be the son.

The film's title seems irrelevant to the story. Nevertheless, it is a funny film that might be described as broad comedy.

Jackie Jenkins shows more range than expected. And Hume Cronyn, as usual, does a fine job in his role. The two stars plays rather predictable roles, but keep things moving. I think designer Helen Rose, as the busiest woman in Hollywood, deserves credit for the designs that flatter the actresses of this and many other films.
