O Noivo de Minha Noiva

After Greer Garson made her film debut in "Goodbye, Mr. Chips," she was awarded an Academy Award nomination and gained international stardom. Her second film was "Remember?" which I'm sure Miss Garson would rather have "forgotten." A silly script that totally wastes the talents of not only Garson but Robert Taylor and Lew Ayres as well.

I gave this little ditty a 9 out of 10 because it's worth it to see some very funny dialog, good acting, and three very beautiful stars! Sometimes I'm a classic film 'snob' and prefer not to waste my time watching trash, so please know that I grade harshly. So, it was with delight that I discovered this little gem I'd never heard of. I'm a huge fan of Lew Ayres; he can do no wrong in my book - ever. I see that "Remember?" didn't get glowing reviews, and I urge you not to let that stop you. I rarely laugh out loud while movie-watching, but I found myself doing so! This is an adorable bit of cinema. It was NOT meant to be sophisticated or thought-provoking. It's for FUN - plain and simple!

This movie was painful and outlandish, at best.

Greer Garson is engaged to Lew Ayres and meets his best friend, Robert Taylor. Robert Taylor immediately (and blatantly) starts romancing Greer RIGHT IN FRONT OF LEW when they are supposed to be best friends. Greer keeps putting herself alone with Robert, and (duh) they end up together to the dismay of the ever tolerant Lew (Greer also shows no signs of remorse at cheating on her fiancée).

The WORST part was when Robert and Greer elope...then, when a surprised and dismayed Lew shows up, Greer has the NERVE to chastize him for being angry.

She is probably the most despicable of the three because of her patronizing and holier-than-thou attitude...despite all of the rotten things she does to the man she supposedly once loved. Robert is next. I, for one, would never throw Lew over for this jerk. At least they deserve each other.

Lew Ayres is the only good part of this movie, even though you want him to slap the other two and he never does.

Do NOT see this movie...unless you want to be frustrated and annoyed...

I loved seeing Robert Taylor in just about any movie, with exception of Quo Vidas (badly miscast). Here is struggling with a concept that the writers and director did not see clearly enough before they executed. Some of the dialog seemed forced because it was not quite right. For the emotion of the moment. You see this clearly with 3 very good actors. That being said, some of it was hilarious, especially the scenes with Taylor and his horse. For those who may not be aware, he was an experienced rider who later did his own riding in the Westerns that he made. Billie Burke was also great as the ditzy mom! See this film for it's, especially, Robert Taylor.

This is a true Classic Film from 1939 and both Robert Taylor and Greer Garson were very young and just starting their careers with MGM. This was a very stupid story that portrayed plenty of Martini Drinking and I think the director and producer did the same while working on this film. Robert Taylor,(Jeffrey Holland),"Killers of Kilimanjaro",'59, fell in love with Greer Garson,(Linda Bronson Holland),"Random Harvest",'42, and had plenty of up's and down's with their marriage. Lew Ayres, (Schuyler Ames),"Love Boat",'81 was also deeply in love with Linda and was going to marry her and his good buddy, Jeff stole her away from him. There are background scenes of the New York World's Fair of 1939, and the plot goes around and around like an old time Merry-go-round. Billie Burke plays the mother to Jeffrey Holland and does a very comical role, with the high voice she used in the Wizard of Oz, 1939 as the Good Witch. Some of the friends of Jeffrey say that his eyes look like Rainbows and changed color every once in a while. Try to REMEMBER, this was a 1939 film and just take it from THERE !
