The Bride Comes Home


The Bride Comes Home is a 1935 comedy film made by Paramount Pictures, directed by Wesley Ruggles, and starring Claudette Colbert, Fred MacMurray and Robert Young. It was written by Claude Binyon and Elisabeth Sanxay Holding.

Plot

After the bankruptcy of her father's business, the penniless socialite Jeannette Desmereau works with magazine editor Cyrus Anderson and publisher Jack Bristow. They discuss love and wedding plans. However, when Bristow would seem to marry her, Anderson prepares a plan to take her back. This is a romantic comedy with money, bad tempers and love in the balance.

Cast

Writing for The Spectator in 1936, Graham Greene strongly praised the film as "satirical comedy of a very high order". Emphasizing the performance given by Claudette Colbert, Greene suggested that Colbert's having been given a third role in film made fact of the claim that "Miss Colbert is the most charming light-comedy actress on the screen".
