Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Catherina 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.

JLRMovieReviews Gary Cooper and Anna Sten, an actress I'm not too familiar with, star in this romantic tale called "The Wedding Night." Complications arise right away when we open on Gary Cooper, married to Helen Vinson. Gary is an author who's written several books, but they have gotten progressively worse and his latest his publisher won't publish. With literally no money to their name, they decide to leave New York and go to a country house he owns in Connecticut on farmland. Neighbors Sig Ruman and daughter Anna Sten drop by to make an offer to buy the fields from him. Desperately needing the money, he accepts and talks his wife into going back to New York, because she never liked the place and loves the bustle of New York. With no else around save for a cook, Anna Sten feels a little sorry for him and starts coming around, and when the cook leaves, she starts making him breakfast. With all this time spent together, they begin to have feelings for each other. But, she is engaged to Ralph Bellamy, kind of, that is, as father has been arranging it for some time. But she doesn't love him. Such begins a no win situation. What begins as a very romantic and involving film turns into tragedy I didn't see coming. Granted, Gary was already married. But really this gets bad! No one's happy at the end. A very enjoyable and well made film is marred by an abrupt ending. Even Helen Vinson is especially good as the wronged wife, who gives one of her best performances, aside from Paul Muni's film, "I am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang." You'll love this film, like I did - up to the last minute, but be prepared for a downbeat ending.

mark.waltz When a problematic writer (Gary Cooper) moves back to his country home with his very city oriented wife (Helen Vinson), he falls in love with the innocent Polish girl (Anna Sten) who lives next door. But her father has already promised her hands in marriage to another farmer (Ralph Bellamy), and when problems erupt between Cooper and Vinson, he finds himself falling in love with Sten and she longs to get out of this arranged marriage. But an agreement in the old world is an agreement, and any chance of getting what they wish could lead to tragedy.This very sweet and simple tale has all the elements for great drama, but somehow it never really rises to the heights which it is trying to attain. The leads are young and attractive, and the plot moves briskly, but even with excellent production design and direction by the masterful King Vidor, it still lacks that magic that could have made it explode into something special. I think that occurs because there really is no chemistry between Cooper and Sten, and their unsympathetic partners (Vinson and Bellamy) are not really fleshed out as characters. It also gives the impression that poor European immigrants were lead by an uncompassionate papa and a quietly dignified mama who always suffered in silence. In these roles, Sig Ruman and Esther Dale seem more like stereotypes than real people. Walter Brennan adds some zest to a few scenes as another local, but the end result is a drama that seems like something Lillian Gish may have starred in during the silent era.

David (Handlinghandel) OK, you want to make Anna Sten a star like Garbo or Deitrich. What are the very worst things you could do? Cast her as a Polish immigrant farm woman. Dress her in frumpy clothes. Set the movie in cold weather, necessitating her wearing a hat or scarf much of the time. Cast the urbane Ralph Bellamy as her rough-hewn Polish fiancé.Anna Sten had a lovely face and she wasn't a bad actress. But this vehicle could have sunk any unknown. On the other hand, it's not a bad movie. In some ways, it's memorable.The male lead is Gary Cooper, in his early days when his lashes were long, his look lanky but gentle. He's very good as a writer who's hit a brick wall with his work. He and wife Helen Vinson are splitsville, or near it; so he goes to his family house in Connecticut. And there he meets Sten, who is delivering milk. (No comment.) I never got the whole big deal about Garbo. Sten is more emotive. But she's sunk in this movie.

gjsandie Anna Sten deserved and Oscar for her portrayal, not to be made fun of and practically run out of town. Which just proves my theory that most critics tastes are in their mouth. I invited anyone who enjoys a movie of old, when it was about entertainment rather than depraved education to make the attempt to find a copy, sit back and enjoy. Goldwyn COULD pick them. Anna Sten and Cooper were something great in this movie.
