When people talk of a film being dated, "The Wedding Night" is a perfect example of this.
Anna Sten looks at you from the screen with those sad eyes. You know you're in for a tear-jerker. By the title, I thought I was in for a comedy. Comedy? That's a laugh in itself.
Instead, the viewer is subjected to a tragic film on par with Anna Karenina. The only thing is that we only have to be subjected to an hour and twenty four minutes of this soap opera junk.
There are two good performances here. Sten, since she so vulnerable and Sig Ruman, who portrays her strict by the book father. Yes, this is old fashioned about a girl spending a night with a man, a married man, but after all, the film was made in 1935.
Gary Cooper plays an author in this film who is obviously suffering from writer's block. That all changes when he meets, by chance, a young Polish girl, Miss Sten, who inspires him to write a novel. The problem is that Cooper is married and that Sten is engaged to a blustering Ralph Bellamy.
The tragedy at the end of this film will make you shed a tear for about a minute. Why? You'll be so glad that this film is over.
