Double Wedding [1937] [DVD]William Powell (actor) Myrna Loy (actor) Format: all region dvd (worldwide) Runtime: 87 min Quality: Digital (b/w)
Screwball comedy starring William Powell and Myrna Loy. Eccentric artist Charlie Lodge incurs the wrath of career-minded Margit Agnew when she believes he is having an affair with her younger sister.
This wonderfully wacky farce stars William Powell as an eccentric artist and Myrna Loy as a bossy designer, bent on forcing her feisty, movie-mad sister (Florence Rice) to marry conservative John Beal. At the time, several reviewers thought this frolic too European in tone - hardly surprising, since it's loosely based on Ferenc Molnar's play, Great Love.
A silly cavil really, since the whole purpose of these beautifully produced MGM comedies was simply to entertain, which this one most certainly does. |
