 Rating:  - Offbeat Powell and Loy filmWilliam Powell wasn't making too many films at this time due to the recent death of his fiancee Jean Harlow. What he did make was made with Loy. Here he plays a bohemian/hippie type artist to Loy's hard working character. He lives in a trailer and gets engaged to Loy's sister but we all know what happens next. Despite knowing the ending, they do a great job with the story helped along with a strong supporting cast. 4.5 Stars Rating:  - Underrated Gem from the Legendary Powell/Loy ComboDOUBLE WEDDING is one of the most overlooked comedies of the 30's! In her autobiography, Myrna Loy wrote it was an unhappy shoot mainly because Jean Harlow (Powell's fiancee) had just died yet these stars are so professional there is nothing in their performances to suggest their depression. WEDDING is in fact the least typical Powell/Loy comedy, a wacky often knockabout farce in which practically every member of the cast gets slugged unconscious in a scene or two. Myrna is cast as a domineering ... Read More Rating: - More fun with the dream team from Metro"Double Wedding", while certainly another in the long line of successes that Willian Powell and Myrna Loy enjoyed in their collaborations together,is a very different type of vechicle for the two and goes a long way to explained why critics at the time were divided about this films general worth. Those that love the sleek champagne delivery of their "Thin Man" films are in for a bit of a shock here as the duo go in for more slapstick than is usual. The last scenes of the film in particular ... Read More Rating: - Much more bizrre than the Thin Man....Powell and Loy are amazing in this movie, which really departs from their usual formula... He is [an] artist who has a gong set up in his mobile home for receiving b-b-gun messages from the bar across the lot (when Loy touches the gong, he yelps "You musn't!"), and she is an uptight entrepreneur. The two opposites are forced to work together (forced? well, they decide to, but the logic which impels them to do so is cloudy to say the least!) in order to make sure that Loy's younger sister marries a nice ... Read More Rating: - If you liked them in any of The Thin Man movies.....Powell plays a wacky artist who falls for Loy, who is a repressed control freak at first. Situations happen that end up putting the two together, as they should be. Jessie Ralph as the "angel" of Loy's dress shop is a killer. Definitely not for the "politically correct" group, as there are certain "off color" phrases. All in all, a really wonderful movie Browse for similar items by category:
