The Gay Bride

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.)
