Фильм және анимация
"A Bride for Henry" is a 1937 American film directed by William Nigh. When Sheila Curtis' (Anne Nagel) fiancé doesn't show up for the wedding, she drafts her lawyer, Henry Tuttle (Warren Hull), to stand in for the missing groom.
When Eric Reynolds (Henry Mollison) finally shows up, after sleeping off the bachelor party, Shelia intends to get a quick divorce, and marry him, after the media attention dies down. Although, Henry has been in love with her for years, he gets fed up, and spends his time, on their "Honeymoon" with his old girlfriend, wealthy Helen Van Orden (Claudia Dell), and a bevy of beauties. Shelia soon gets jealous; and, realizes that Eric will always be unreliable; while, it's Henry she's always counted on, and loved; but, it might be too late. She might have taken Henry for granted for too long.

**** NONspoiler Review*** What a clever script with an outstanding cast. I loved this movie...not only because it was black and white, but because of the time period and just fabulous clothes. It was funny...Not laugh out loud funny, but clever lines said with perfect comedic timing. I chuckled to myself throughout. Perfect lead actress Anne Nagel plays the spoiled, complaining, bossy socialite bride to a Tee. She's obnoxious, but at the same time likable because her requests are so absurd. Oh handsome Henry, played by Warren Hull was such a delight. He is the type of man that you would bring home to mother. He has the patience of a Saint because he put up with Shelia's nonsense. All others were equally cast beautifully. I would recommend this movie 100%. I hesitated at first because I'm drawn to drama, but this just hit the spot on a Saturday evening with a glass of wine. Enjoy. Thank you Timeless Classic.
Their very rough on flowers in this movie🙂. I enjoy old movies very much. Thanks for posting🌺🌺🌺

Yes they are! I noticed that too. I love flowers and they're too rough, haha.
I love this movie so much, I watched and rewatched several times. Great light comedy. One of my favorite movies! Anne Nagel is beautiful with tragic life. I saw her in several other movies.
Claudia Dell brought me to this fun romantic romp with a swell cast. Really enjoyed it from beginning to end. Not a wasted minute. Thank you
This popped up on my KZread feed and it was delightful. Love these 30s comedies! Fast paced witty dialogue, and getting comfortable means she gets into a night gown and he changes from one coat and tie into another!
That hotel suite is like 3 times the size of my entire house!
Poor Henry, he deserves better.

Although Sheila is an annoying character, the actress who plays her does a great job! She carries her solo scenes quite well :)

This was an outstanding 80 year old movie which seems up to date on the social scene now days.

I am still watching this movie. It is so funny and wonderful.
the lady's charms utterly escaped me. these depression-era rom-coms of the foibles of the rich are fascinating.

great movie,
let me check...I think Anne Nagel must have started in the silent movie era...because her voice is a bit sharp sounding. No, I was wrong; she started in movies in 1932.
Never heard of any of them, but I am game. They didnt make any movies than went straight to video. ;)
Henry is cute....
Love it
These 30's movies are a delight. They do seem to smoke a lot of cigarettes....lol. Did anyone notice the single beds in the honeymoon suite?
@scottandrews9453

Cigarette smoking was very common then, surgeon general's warning didn't come along until the 60s. Single beds were the only beds allowed in movies thanks to the Hays code of movie morality that lasted until the 60s.
Hilarious!

The British actor was on a destroyer during WW2 and became a POW when it was sunk by the Germans. Never returned to acting after the war.

Yes. They literally did not know it caused any health problems. The tobacco companies bombasted the public with pro-health propaganda for decades, and even hired doctors for their commercials, to tell us how healthy it was to smoke.

When Shiela Curtis’( Anne nagel) fiancé doesn’t show up for the wedding,she drafts her lawyer,Henry Tuttle (Warren hill ) to stand in for the missing groom! When he groom( Henry mollison) finally shows up after sleeping off the bachelor party,Shiela intends to get a quick divorce and marry him after the attraction dies down-Henry has been in love 😻 with her for years.he gets fed up with her and spends his honeymoon with his old girlfriend. (Claudia dell ) and some beauties! Shiela gets jealous, realizes Eric and she are not suitable for each other, while it’s Henry she counts on. She wonders if she’s taken Henry for granted for too long! The end was pretty good 👍! Anne nagel and Warren hull were great in this movie 🍿-I don’t understand the criticism over her-well, it was the character they were mad at-not the actress who played her-and I think it was undeserved! The two were in another movie again in 1939-and the subject was marriage-I have to see that one! ☝️
Enjoyable

Warren Hull was gorgeous. I saw this movie a few months ago on another channel. Sheila was a jerk 🤣 funny fun movie though. Warren died in 1974. Age 71
That was the lamest movie ever, cant act their way out of a paper bag so why the hell did i enjoy it?
Carole Lombard perfected this type of role. imo...Anne is a poor imitation.
horrible acting, especially the bride. rushing thru all the lines too quickly.
