We’re Not Married

I’m not sure why I bought this, really:

Because that doesn’t sound very positive!

And I didn’t know there was a city in the US called that, too. Very edumacational I’m sure.

This is kinda high concept: A judge married five couples before the date he was authorised, so they were never actually legally married. The attorney discovers this two years later and send them all a letter informing them. How will each couple react!

So this is kind of an anthology movie? With five shorter stories around the same set-up? I think that sounds like it could be fun. It’s a short movie, though — 82 minutes — and they’ve spent 13 minutes getting things set up. So that’s 14 minutes per couple.

That’s kinda like a solid joke.

I like these two. (That’s the judge and his wife.)

Hey! The Monroe/Wayne bit was fun. It had a kind of O. Henry ending, but happy.

Yeah, Hazel Flagg was correct, of course. This is not a good movie. But I almost want to give it a ⚂ just because it has a lot of actors I like, but no. While there’s some entertaining scenes, it’s a quite boring movie, and not really worth watching.

We’re Not Married. Edmund Goulding. 1952. ⚁
