June 9th: June Bride


Some great things, As I've said before, are complete surprises. You never know they're their until they suddenly pop up in life. This was one of them, and one that I almost missed.

June Bride came out in 1948 starring Bette Davis. Now, the last movie I reviewed with her in it was All About Eve which I was not so partial to, but this film was a pleasant surprise. The movie actually, though, starts with a man named Robert Montgomery as Carry, A writer who just got laid off from his paper job. His boss, however, recommends a job for him in a women's magazine of which Davis is the editor, Linda. Well, these two had a past relationship in which Carry got to close to her, freaked out, and stood her up to go to Germany.

Well, he takes the job and the team of the magazine heads off from New York to Indiana where they are doing a story about the magazine crew giving Brinker Family a complete make-over for their daughters wedding. Carry hates this already. He wants a story with edge, so while digging up some information he gets himself in the middle of the new A Midsummer Night's Dream: Indiana Addition. All of this is being sorted out, and in the mean time Bette Davis is getting over her resentful attitude and falling back in love with Carry, who plans on marrying her.

YouTube's got nothing for me (becoming more and more common) But I do recommend this one. Its less than 2 hours and rated PG easily. I really really lied it, having the perfect measures of Comedy and quick witted Drama.
