Wedding Present (film)
- October 9, 1936 (1936-10-09)
Wedding Present is a 1936 American romantic screwball comedy film directed by Richard Wallace and starring Joan Bennett, Cary Grant and George Bancroft. The screenplay was written by Joseph Anthony, based on a story by Paul Gallico. The film was distributed by Paramount Pictures. Producer B. P. Schulberg was the firm's former studio head. The film reteamed Bennett and Grant, despite the fact their previous pairing Big Brown Eyes had not been a commercial or critical success.[1]
Plot
Charlie Mason and 'Rusty' Fleming are reporters for a Chicago tabloid who are romantically involved. Charlie's mischievous shenanigans cause Rusty to move to New York. Charlie resigns his job and, along with gangster friend 'Smiles' Benson, he pursues Rusty to win her back before she marries a stuffy society author.
