Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

southfljb June Bride was not a big hit for Warner's at the time. Watching it now it seems no worse than many other films of it's type made during the late 1940's. The problem with the film is Robert Montgomery who in 1948 is way past his days playing dapper playboys or world weary correspondents. He looks old and tired in the film and he calls in the performance, there is no life to it. His chemistry with Bette is MIA, and poor Bette has to pull him along with both hands and deal with a sad script. Bette on the other hand looks great and she gives a good performance, again the only thing wrong here is the sappy script. The great supporting cast including Mary Wickes and Faye Bainter are wasted. The film is worth a watch but it is a weak Warner Bros production and Bette's second to last film for the studio.

crispy_comments Despite some humorous banter and a decent supporting cast, I can't really recommend this movie. The leads aren't very likable and I didn't particularly care if they got together in the end. I certainly didn't like the *way* they got together, with Bette Davis giving up her career to be the supportive wife & luggage-carrier for world-traveler Robert Montgomery.It's depressing to see films like this where strong, intelligent women are brought down so low, forced to beg the men who wronged *them* to take them back. Of course it's always the woman who has to change *her* ways, and turn off her brain. Ugh. Even the minor female characters are regretful spinsters, emphasizing this film's awful message - that all women really want to get married, and having a career is a poor substitute. By the way, I took an instant dislike to Montgomery when I first saw him in "Mr. And Mrs. Smith", and his performance in "June Bride" did nothing to alter my opinion. Did he *always* play a smug, sexist jerk who thinks he's God's gift to women (despite looking like a friggin' frog)? So irritating to watch.

MartinHafer This may not be the most dramatic or consequential film Bette Davis ever made, but it is still worth watching nevertheless. The odd thing about the film is that it had an odd chemistry by pairing with her and Robert Montgomery, but it isn't bad enough to seriously affect the film. Plus, it is possible that I am one of the few who thought they just didn't make a likely couple. The banter between them, though, is fast paced and charming and although you know they ultimately will discover their love for each other, it works. Why? Well, the writing was good and both leads are good enough actors that they manage to keep it fun and engaging. Formulaic? Yes. But worth a look just the same.

mrshvd This is a delightful film, one of my favorites. There is a brief scene that is not to be missed, between Bette Davis (as Linda), Mary Wickes (as Rosemary) and Tom Tully (as Mr. Brinker), in which Linda and Rosemary are discussing "Mrs. Brinker's bust" as Mr. Brinker looks on. The audience knows what they're talking about, but poor Mr. Brinker does not, and his expressions and reaction are hysterically funny. The whole film is definitely worth seeing. Robert Montgomery drunk on cider is also not to be missed.
