PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Manthast Absolutely amazing

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

weezeralfalfa The basic plot of this MGM light romantic comedy concerns the question of whether the right woman can tame playboy Neil McGill(Robert Young), and induce him to settle down to a productive career, preferably within his father's nation-spanning company, so that he might some day take over his father's place.Clearly Neil isn't excited enough over his girlfriend(Virginia Field, as Abbie Bragdon)to make him give up his carefree rich bachelor life. Twice, he's stood her up by 'forgetting' his wedding day. One gets the impression that Abbie is his parent's choice, probably for political reasons. She's certainly not bad looking, but Neil apparently is used to more glamorous prospects. Neil's mother, played by Billie Burke, decides to take him to a famous psychiatrist in Switzerland to check for periodic amnesia, not realizing the real reason for Neil's habitual tardiness to his wedding. In Switzerland, as soon as he steps off the train, he meets the girl he has dreamed of, as his porter! She also has several other jobs and interests, making for a full life, in contrast to Neil's mostly empty life. Nonetheless, she's Immediately attracted to him. He tells her he's doing 'research'. They frolic a bit, but she learns about Abbie, who still has hopes of marrying Neil. Neil tells her that he is through with Abbie, and she seems satisfied. They take a climb up a fake snowy mountain, Neil neither wearing hat nor gloves. They get to know each other better on a treacherous ledge, with the doctor in between. Later, Neil's mother decides the psychiatrist has had enough time to study Neil, and buys a ticket home. Strangely, Abbie and her father are also on the boat, and Neil is shocked that she plans their wedding on the ship. Neil is greatly elated that Luise is on the ship. He plans a switcheroo in the bride, against the wishes of the others.Very familiar Gene Lockhart makes an authoritative father figure... Billie Burke was a definite plus, exhibiting her usual excited squeaky voice, stealing every scene she was in, which was quite a few. She would soon be cast as the good witch, in "The Wizard of Oz"... Anabella made a beautiful and winsome girlfriend in one of her relatively few films in English. Otherwise, she was cast in French or other European films. Her time at Hollywood failed to tap her diverse potential. She seemed to play the zither when she sang "When I Gave My Smile to You", first alone, in French; later, in French and English, partially with Young. Robert Young is the weakest link in this screenplay. He lacked the looks and charisma of someone equal in these respects to Annabella. Tyrone Power filled these requirements in Annabella's mind, and they would soon marry. We don't know whether Neil would fulfill his promise to knuckle down at a challenging job. Annabella is taking a big risk.

MartinHafer Neil McGill (Robert Young) is a very spoiled son of a rich man. For the second time, he's missed his wedding with Abbie. Although he claims to love the woman, it's certainly not apparent. But his dippy mother (Billie Burke) wants to try to salvage the relationship and insists on taking Neil to Europe to get a note from a famous psychiatrist that says Neil was suffering from amnesia! However, some unexpected things happen...such as his falling in love with a poor lady (Annabella) as well as wanting to finally make something of himself.This is a modestly interesting story. However, it's also a bit of a hard sell because through so much of the story Neil is unlikable and a bit of a spoiled jerk. Had be been less dislikable the story would have worked a bit better.

wes-connors In London, idly rich Robert Young (as Neil McGill) sobers up with a shower and rubdown. He remembers it's his wedding day, but arrives too late for the ceremony. It's just as well, because Mr. Young goes to Switzerland and meets attractive blonde Annabella (as Luise Anzengruber). For the first time Young thinks he's really in love. He wants to end his selfish playboy ways and marry Annabella, but Young's family expects him to wed his London fiancée. After this film, bride the French actress Annabella took a break from movie-making and spent some time with new real-life groom Tyrone Power. "Bridal Suite" succumbs to the limited appeal of Young and Annabella as a romantic couple.**** Bridal Suite (1939-05-26) William Thiele ~ Robert Young, Annabella, Walter Connolly, Billie Burke

vincentlynch-moonoi This is a B movie, but quite a pleasant one. Robert Young is excellent as a playboy with an aversion to the altar...until he meets Annabella in Switzerland. He becomes quite captivated. And, there's quite a bit of snappy dialog here...more than you would expect for the fluff that this movie really is...but it's enjoyable fluff! Annabella is quite wonderful here, too.There are enough great character actors to go around here -- Walter Connolly is superb as the psychiatrist, and Billie Burke paid her usual air-headed self...just one film before her Glenda in "The Wizard Of Oz". And you'll recognize several others, as well.A word about the mountain climbing scenes. While clearly fake, they are rather well done, although three people stranded on a mountain would remain that calm, I'll never know.This film is a nice mix of light comedy and drama. I think you'll enjoy it. And I still don't quite understand why, in movies, Robert Young didn't quite reach the success I think he deserved.
