I found "This Marriage Business" (1938) to be pleasant enough to stick with, as I had expected; I mean, I didn't just bumble across by accident. I enjoyed probably mostly because the film gives us a Victor Moore starring presence, and includes Alan Lane, who is always amiable and relaxed. Richard Lane is appreciated, too, but here keeps a serious and business-like demeanor as the bad guy. Jack Carson has an early film career appearance, too, one that doesn't stray far from roles he later kind of became known for. The only question mark in the cast is Vicki Lester, who probably could have given her role a little fuller treatment if prodded.

But we get an unusual and bright little story, plenty of street scenes with vintage vehicles, several small-town characters, and interesting architecture, as well, all equating to a solid dose of 1938 atmosphere throughout. So for me, "This Marriage Business" was far from a disaster and, in fact, was nicely enjoyed.
