They All Kissed the Bride

- There's Never Anything Wrong With A Woman That A Man's Lips Won't Cure!

Margaret Drew runs her trucking company single-mindedly, if not ruthlessly. The only thorn in her side is writer Michael Holmes who is writing a book on some of her tough ways. With no time for men, the effect an attractive stranger has on her at her sister's wedding is unnerving. When it turns out this is the hated writer, she starts seriously to lose her bearings. Surely it can't become Maggie and Mike?

Joan Crawford is "MJ", the boss of a trucking company who rules the place with a rod of iron. Enter the wily writer "Holmes" (Melvyn Douglas) whom she knows has written a rather unflattering book about how her late father made his fortune. She contrives to have him arrested, wrongfully, then spends the next half hour trying - with the aide of her lawyer Roland Young ("Marsh") to get him to sign a release - a document he steadfastly refuses to sign. What now ensues is a gently comedic cat and mouse game as he sets about wooing this headstrong woman, despite her obvious hostility. If I'm honest, I found Douglas' character really quite annoying, smug almost - the strong-willed Crawford seems to fall for his scheming all too easily, and predictably - and although it is quite en enjoyable flimsy to watch, it just didn't quite work for me. Young tries quite hard as her long-suffering adviser, and there are a couple of stereotypical, mildly amusing, contributions from Billie Burke and Nydia Westman - who much preferred knitting to working. It's good to see the star trying to play a different style of role from her usual 1940s power-dressing type and she does it well enough, though without too much sparkle. This is amiable enough to watch, it just isn't anything special.
