Her Wedding Night

Clara Bow was a tremendous personality who Paramount relied upon to make money with their bad scripts. This is another example of that trend. Luckily the rest of the cast is very good too, so the film is fun, but if you begin to examine the plot, it all crumbles.

Clara is a movie star who misses her train at a stop, along with Skeets Gallagher, who is masquerading as his friend, a famous composer (Ralph Forbes). The two wind up married because they don't speak the language, and rather than immediately remedy the situation, Clara goes with it, and her new husband does too, even though he has only just met her, and has a harem of women waiting in the wings. Charlie Ruggles is a friend who wants to take a nap. The grand finale is a well-timed bedroom farce with slamming doors and hidden guests.

I saw this very rare film screened at Capitolfest in 2021.
