Overview

Starring Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray, the Bride Comes Home (1936) is a screwball comedy set against the backdrop of Chicago during the Depression. At the center of a romantic triangle is Jeanette Desmereau (Colbert), a socialite left penniless by the stock market crash who takes a job as a writer for a men's magazine. Her two on-again, off-again suitors just happen to be her hard-boiled editor Cyrus Anderson (MacMurray) and the company's wealthy owner, Jack Bristow (Robert Young). Complicating matters is the fact that Cyrus was originally hired to be Jacks bodyguard and is constantly fighting his boss battles for him. Tempers flare, opposites attract and true love wins out at the end in this fast-paced delight featuring memorable comic turns by supporting players Edgar Kennedy, Donald Meek and William Collier Sr.
