A very unlikely actor to be playing a pro wrestler!

Harry Gribbon made quite a few comedy shorts during the 1930s. I've seen many of them and have been consistently surprised how unfunny they are. Perhaps his sort of humor just isn't very effective in the 21st century.

In "A Wrestler's Bride", Harry plays a pro wrestler, 'Scissors' Jackson. In the upcoming title fight, he's supposed to be the winner, as wrestling matches are often fixed. But at the last minute, the deal is off...and by now Scissors has bet everything he has that he'll win...something that now seems very remote to say the least.

As I watched this film, I just never laughed or came close to laughing. Not a terrible short...but certainly NOT a funny one.
