Stood up at the alter by an absent-minded groom, attractive Anne Nagel (as Sheila Curtis) decides to teach her intended a lesson by marrying handsome lawyer Warren Hull (as Henry Tuttle), instead. After watching wayward fiancé Henry Mollison (as Eric Reynolds) stew in his juices, Ms. Nagel plans to divorce Mr. Hull and marry Mr. Mollison. As it turns out, Hull has secretly been in love Nagel for years, and wants to keep her as his wife. While honeymooning with Hull, Nagel begins to make up with Mollison, who realizes his mistake. Meanwhile, Hull is determined to win his wife's love.
"A Bride for Henry" is a fluffy, forgettable comedy. It's managed well by Dorothy Davenport (the widow of Wallace Reid), director William Nigh, and its triangle of players - as long as you don't think too hard about what's going on. Nagel, more well-known as a second-stringer, is a lovely leading lady; she doesn't look like someone you'd leave at the alter. Hull sings a lick, and shows off his physique by the pool. After Hull demonstrates his diving board form, a bevy of swimsuit models show off their hourglass figures; alas, the state of the film isn't sharp enough to appreciate every curve.

I really enjoyed this film a lot. The other reviewers don't seem to do this movie justice or give it its due. The only name I recognized was that of Warren Hull so it wasn't famous stars that drew me to it. The premise was silly enough to make it part screw-ball comedy and part romantic comedy. There was an agreeable combination of both. I thought the cast was equally good and there were plenty of hardy belly laughs whenever a character said a witty line; many of them a spoken staccato-style which I think is pretty characteristic of movies of that era. If you're looking for easy viewing for an evening's light entertainment, this is an excellent choice.
Remember the days when men used tons of hair gel, wore wing-tips and had suits so sharp you could cut yourself? And remember the dames with sheer sateen dresses with low-cut backs that oozed style and class?? This film must have spent a bundle just on the wardrobe changes.
Annoyed by the tardiness of her fiancée a lady marries her lawyer Henry in a spur of the moment act of revenge. On the honey-moon her finacee shows up and she decides to forgive him, however she starts to see a side of Henry she has never seen before.
Encounter many hilarious 1930s style capers and physical comedy as the couples bungle their way though a charming sitting-room farce. Guys and dames are a plenty in this film that represents the essence of 1930s jazz age America.

Another Youtube discovery, an amusing, witty and well made shortie. I enjoyed this more than any number of more elaborate, expensive and star-studded extravaganzas of the 1930s. Fine acting performances and well-directed, recommended if you need a laugh.
When Eric, in his usual irresponsible manner, fails to show at his own wedding because he's sleeping off his bachelor party, his bride Sheila decides to go through with the wedding anyway. All she needs is another groom, and on short notice. She calls her lawyer, Henry, into the dressing chamber and hastily proposes to him.
As they leave for their honeymoon, however, Henry finds out that Sheila is simply trying to teach her fiancé a lesson, and intends to get a divorce as soon as the honeymoon is over. Henry, who has a long standing crush on Sheila, is visibly disappointed, and cleverly schemes to keep her.
The plot is amusing, and the characters, while somewhat cookie-cutter, are lovable. If you're a fan of vintage romantic comedies, I think you'll find it worth watching.
