    "I'd rather kiss Mickey Mouse than a rat like you."

    Gold-digging chorus girl (Carole Lombard) marries a dim-witted gangster (Nat Pendleton) for his money. His gangster cronies are jealous and scheme against him for a shot at Lombard. Kind of gross, right? Meanwhile, bodyguard Chester Morris has been protecting Carole and she starts to fall for him. Unbelievably, Chester is supposed to be honest and decent, despite working for gangsters. Weird.

    Carole's gorgeous and has fun banter with Chester Morris. Nice supporting cast including Zasu Pitts, Sam Hardy, and Leo Carrillo. Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson has an uncredited bit part. Funny gangster screwball comedy. Lombard's only movie for MGM and reportedly the movie she considered to be her worst. I can't see why. It wasn't her best but I thought it was fun.

    Lombard at her most beautiful.

    Easy to see why Lombard was the highest paid actress in Hollywood at one time. Breathtakingly beautiful and with a wonderful sense of humor. That said, The Gay Bride is a fun movie but very much on the modest side. An amusing trifle about a heartless, gold-digging chorus girl bent on marrying one gangster after another, only to see them wiped out before she can get her hands on the cash. Chester Morris, a gangster's book-keeper, the one true love interest - whom of course she despises because he has no money. Amusing sparks struck between the two that provides the main thrust of the comedy. The great Zasu Pitts in a wisecracking supporting role. Not a great movie but a few good laughs - and a chance to see Lombard at her most luminous. Worth the time.

    Nice surprise....

    This is a really good script and Chester Morris really hold his own in this screwball comedy.

    Love and death

    Love classic film and there are numerous great, some classic even, examples of films that mix comedy, drama and crime mystery. But my main reason for seeing the film was Carole Lombard (before she became the wife of Clark Gable), a lovely very talented actress who died tragically far too young with so much more to give, in her only film for MGM.

    It may not be one of Lombard's best films, and it doesn't contain one of her overall best performances (not a knock against her), and would hesitate in calling it great. Instead it is an uneven but interesting and entertaining film, that would have been better if the story was more focused. There was a lot of potential, considering the cast and that the script was penned by successful playwrights that were far from inexperienced. Potential that could have been lived up to more, not a complete squandering by all means though.

    The best thing is the cast. Lombard looks luminous and is both witty and charming. Chester Morris is a terrific male lead and perhaps gives the best performance in the role, he has great comic timing and has the right amount of intensity. He and Lombard work wonderfully together, with their banter snappy and their delivery and chemistry sparkling. The supporting cast on the most part also fare well, Leo Carrillo enjoys himself in his role as does ZaSu Pitts in her too short screen time.

    Visually, the production values are stylish and elegant. Much of the script is tight and witty, with plenty of laugh out loud funny moments, and the story does compel on the most part and never dull if more in the comedy-oriented parts. It's all competently, if slightly uninspiredly, directed.

    However, the material is a little on the slight side, with there not being quite enough to fill the length (the film is not a long one). The story generally could have been more focused, tonally it is a bit of a mishmash of comedy and crime melodrama. The comedy elements fare much better.

    While intriguing and with moments of suspense, the crime melodrama lacks surprises and can get preposterous, with some silly character decisions. Nat Pendelton also came over as rather colourless in an indecisively written dim-witted role.

    All in all, uneven but worth the look for Lombard and Morris especially. 6/10 Bethany Cox

    Great Morris

    Gay Bride, The (1934)

    ** 1/2 (out of 4)

    A gold-digging chorus girl (Carole Lombard) decides to the only way to get rich is by marrying gangsters and hoping that they get killed so that all their money will go to her. She finds one dimwitted gangster (Nat Pendleton) to marry her but his bodyguard (Chester Morris) can see right through her. This comedy has some truly great moments in it but overall there aren't enough constant laughs to make it a complete winner. I was surprised to learn that this was the only film Lombard made for MGM but she turns in a fine performance. Her role isn't the greatest but the screenplay does offer her plenty of nice one-liners and for the most part she hits everyone of them. Pendleton is also very good as the dumb gangster who can't see that his wife is just after his money. It's Morris who steals the show however with his perfect comic timing. The screenplay does his character more justice than anyone else and Morris uses it to his advantage with countless great lines and some truly hysterical moments including a scene at a will reading. Zasu Pitts is wasted in her small role of Lombard's friend. The screenplay doesn't have enough laughs to carry the 80-minute running time but if you're a fan of the two stars then the film should keep you entertained.

      This was one of Carole Lombard's least favorites among her own filmography. Chester Morris also thought during filming that the movie was a "turkey". Sadly, the newly enforced Production Code had laundered the script beyond recognition, and dulled its impact. Nine months earlier, it would have been a different story.

      The story supposedly takes place in New York City, but during the automobile chase near the end of the film the principals in their Mercedes drive up Grand Avenue in Los Angeles, passing the Mayflower Hotel, and in and out of the Grand Central Garage. In another scene they pop into a hotel lobby with Hotel Stowell, located on South Spring Street, in Los Angeles, in the background. (In fairness, Los Angeles was not a popular vacation destination until the 1950s, so the vast majority of moviegoers at the time would not have noticed this.)

      Mirabelle: There's no sense to marrying a racketeer. They don't live long.

      Mary Magiz: Well, what's wrong with that?
