Commentary
“The Bride Goes Wild” is an unfortunate name for a great movie. This 1948 romantic comedy stars Van Johnson and June Allyson in their third of five movie pairings. It really isn’t about a bride for most of the movie, and she certainly doesn’t go wild. Based on lead couple’s characters, “Uncle Bumps and the Schoolteacher” would have been a very fitting title. I can see why MGM didn’t use that name, though.
My family is always on the lookout for cute movies, which aren’t epic stories and probably aren’t cinematic masterpieces but which are entertaining and easy to watch. They’re fun but not too silly. They’re romantic but not too deep. No matter what your mood is, there’s a good chance a movie like this will lift your spirits!…
