One of the lesser-known satisfactions in Gary Cooper's career is this 1935 King Vidor film, an offbeat blend of romance, comedy, and tragedy. It begins in screwball territory: Cooper plays a novelist whose partying ways have stalled his career and made his new manuscript unpublishable. He and wife Helen Vinson like the high life (any resemblance to Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald is probably intentional), and she doesn't stick around while he tries to write a new book in a quiet Connecticut country house. The isolation puts him into proximity with a heartfelt young immigrant girl (Anna Sten), whose Polish community provides a subject for his new book.

If you think Cooper was a merely the <I>High Noon</I> guy, a lanky Western hero, this is one of the movies (among many) that dispel the idea: his utter naturalness is a gold standard for a certain kind of movie-star acting. Directing him on the set the first day, Vidor worried about the star's mumbling and forgetfulness with dialogue. "Imagine my amazement," Vidor later wrote, "when I watched our first day's work on the screen and observed and heard a performance that overflowed with charm and personality." Anna Sten was another issue: the Russian actress had been brought to the U.S. with great fanfare by producer Samuel Goldwyn, because he wanted to have his own foreign Garbo/Dietrich under contract. Her cool presence failed to generate audience interest, and Goldwyn gave up on her after <I>The Wedding Night</I>. She's a problem, but Cooper keeps it going, and the movie itself is unexpectedly warm. <I>--Robert Horton</I>

5 out of 5 stars Tender and Mature.......2007-06-18

This tender and mature film from director King Vidor is one of the great forgotten films of the 1930's. There is a sensitive and romantic light hanging over every frame, as though Vidor turned the lamplight low, letting its warm, soft glow set the mood for a rich story of tragic love.

Alfred Newman's lovely score and Gregg Toland's photography gave Anna Sten a chance to truly shine opposite Gary Cooper. Her Manya is sweet and endearing, and it is sad that Goldwyn misused her by trying to make her into another Garbo. She is both funny and charming, and with a gift for conveying emotion on the inside while attempting to mask her feelings.

Edwin Knoff's original story of a writer in need of more inspiration and a lot less boozing returning to his country home in Connecticut has real depth. It doesn't opt for easy answers to lives gone astray. Love's redeeming power, and our connection to the earth, themes running through many of Vidor's works, are important elements in Edith Fitzgerald's screenplay.

Gary Cooper is quite wonderful as the writer who can't get published anymore returning to his home, his New York wife in tow. Helen Vinson lends great support as his wife Dory, and makes her sympathetic even when she leaves Tony (Cooper) and returns to the city for a time. It will prove to be a huge mistake, bringing about tragedy.

Tony finds both solice and inspiration in his lovely Polish neighbor, Manya (Anna Sten). Her gentle presence gives birth to "Earth's Return," a novel he reads to her by the fire. Her smile and gentle laughter is soothing to his soul, and soon their is a deep and unspoken love blooming.

Standing in their way, however, is her traditional Polish family, who have arranged a marriage for her, and his returning wife, who really loves Tony but is not sure how to hang on to him. This is a rich and mature film of a man adrift and the love which brings his soul back to life, with tragic consequences. Filled with warmth and humor, there is a something real about it. A farewell reminiscent of the final scene in Borzage's "Three Comrades" is not soon forgotten.

This is a lovely film from the 1930's which has the maturity of foreign films made decades later. Perhaps only when "The Stranger's Return" and "H.M. Pullman Esq." find a release, will King Vidor's standing as an important figure in American film finally be realized. A tender masterpiece.

5 out of 5 stars the wedding night.......2007-06-03

an author with writers block finds more than he bargained for when he has to go to the country to escape his out of control city life-style. he finds that he has other problems when he falls for a local girl. one of them is how to tell his wife about her.. it isn't easy. and thereby hangs the tale.

4 out of 5 stars Very Under-Rated.......2007-05-18

Over the years, I have repeatedly read that Anna Sten was not highly thought of as an actress. Perhaps something happened with that mysetery known as timing. If "The Wedding Night" is an example of her acting, the mid 1930s American audiences missed something. I think she is superb in this role and has a wonderful doomed chemistry with Gary Cooper. The film itself has a terrific look, as do a number of Goldwyn's films from this period. They appear like handsome leather bound novels in motion. Ralph Bellamy turns in his usual superb performance and captures the essence of these Polish immigrants as a pragmatic people. It's easy to dismiss them as cold and humorless but, to be fair, they most likely, as other immigrants of that time, came from countries where they knew only hardship and had to fight to survive. This clash of cultures leaves the viewer frustrated along with the characters, as the screenplay intends, and "The Wedding Night" elicits a very rewarding viewing experience.

5 out of 5 stars Very touching story.......2007-03-15

This is not one of Cooper's most well known films but it is a very good one and deserves more attention. Cooper is an author who has run out of money and ideas so he and his wife retreat to an old family farm in Connecticut. There he meets Anna Sten who is the daughter of Polish immigrants that run a tobacco farm. She breaks his writer's block and he decides to write a story about her hard working family. Meanwhile his wife has decided to go back to New York city as farm life is not for her. Cooper and Sten fall in love but unlike movies of today there is no graphic sex scene as they do not consumate their feelings. Instead their love is shown very cleverly and sensually through glances that last a little too long and sweet gestures like Anna cooking for him and taking care of him. Her father however has plans for her to marry Frederik played by a young Ralph Bellamy. Frederik discovers that Sten and Cooper are in love but decides to marry her anyway because of the land and house he will get as part of her dowry. This movie has an unhappy ending but it is very fitting for the piece and only adds to it's depth and realism.

On top of this being a very good film it's also a chance to see a young and very handsome Gary Cooper. Anna Sten was quite beautiful also but this was her last major picture as for some reason she just did not "catch on" with the movie public. She is very good in this film however and you won't be disappointed if you check it out.

5 out of 5 stars A Retro Sleeper.......2006-08-04

I have always been a big fan of Gary Cooper films. Although I've seen just about all of his major movies, there are a number of his lesser films I haven't had much opportunity to see. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to see "The Wedding Night" tonight. I had taped it recently to watch at a later date. The brief glimpse I caught of it then led me to think it was a silly romance that the 30's seemed to specialize in. I found out that it is an impressive love story with a view from many angles.

The movie starts out rather clumsily, I thought. We see a happy-go-lucky young couple partying their days away. We discover that the man (Cooper) is a writer and we discover his publisher isn't too happy with his latest work (or lack thereof). They head off to his rural residence where he would, hopefully, get back on track for his next novel. We meet his new neighbors from Poland and we discover his wife misses the big city. She heads back (somewhat reluctantly) as he meets the new neighbors's daughter. From here on the movie becomes a very interesting study of love; its' innocence, its' responsibility, its' rediscovery, its' expectations, etc..

I understood later that the opening of the movie that I thought to be clumsy was actually a good introduction to a young couple who lacked the seriousness that every relationship has to have. In perhaps the best scene in the movie, the young wife speaks frankly on that subject. Indeed the level of seriousness that the movie rises to is a transformation that we all share in. I was impressed with how well the movie was able to draw me into it in this way.

The acting is very good to excellent with top honors (in my ballot) going to an actress I, frankly, never heard of before; Helen Vinson. Cooper was good as well as Russian actress Anna Sten in one of her few US films. Sig Ruman always seems to play a good character role and this movie is no exception. All of the cast seems to do well to support the emotions of the movie.

Nowadays, when a very good movie is released with little fanfare, we call it a "sleeper". "The Wedding Night" comes across to me as one of many "retro sleepers" I had a chance to see lately and it ranks as one of the best.

One of the most famous tap numbers in film history distinguishes <I>Broadway Melody of 1940</I>, the fourth and final installment in MGM's <I>Broadway Melody</I> series. When Clare Bennett (Eleanor Powell, who had appeared in <I>Broadway Melody of 1936</I> and <I>1938</I>) needs a new partner for her hit Broadway show, small-time hoofers Johnny Brett (Fred Astaire in his MGM debut) and King Shaw (George Murphy) get their big chance. But due to a case of mistaken identity, King, rather than the more talented Johnny, gets the job, and the girl. Astaire and Powell can't match the chemistry he had with Ginger Rogers at RKO, but she was the best technical dancer he was ever teamed with, and the sense of fun they share is infectious. Their above-mentioned tap duet to Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine" is legendary, but there are other fine moments as well: Astaire and Murphy's duet "Please Don't Monkey with Broadway," Powell's athletic number with a chorus of sailors "I Am the Captain," Astaire playing the piano and singing "I've Got My Eyes on You," and his and Powell's high-velocity duet "Jukebox Dance." <I>--David Horiuchi</I>

5 out of 5 stars Broadyway Melody of 1940.......2007-05-18

Wow.....This was such an exciting movie to watch. Eleanor Powell, Fred Astaire, and George Murphy. Eleanor & Fred were amazing. An added bonus of George Murphy...George also danced with Shirley Temple in Little Miss Broadway. Doesn't get much better than that.

4 out of 5 stars late art deco musical.......2007-03-17

It took me a while to warm up to Eleanor Powell, but I really enjoyed this musical. Was I the only person who saw a menage a trois implied at the end of the movie.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Amazing!!.......2007-03-08

This film contains some absolutely amazing tap dancing sequences. My grandfather used to speak of Eleanor Powell with reverence. He said that her upper body remained still and her feet went a million miles a minute. She never missed a beat. After seeing this movie I have to agree.

Of course Fred Astaire is his usual "magnificent dancer" self.

5 out of 5 stars Have never seen such beautiful footwork.......2007-02-21


Having watched Broadway Melody of 1929 (the story of two sisters trying to have a break at Broadway with the younger sister winning both love and the spotlight in the end), this 1940 version with Fred Astaire (as Johnny Brett) and George Murphy (as King Shaw) waiting for their break excelled both in terms of the plot and wonderful dance numbers.

The fact that Eleanor Powell (as Clare Bennet) starred in the previous 1936 and 1938 versions certainly helped a lot. The first thing that impressed me is the dramatic build up for Clare to discover Johnny as the real dancing star. How she overheard tap dance nextdoor, watched Johnny sang "I've got my eyes on you" on the piano and danced with her photo was romantic and alluring. Fred Astaire with his honest look and sacrificial personality was the perfect Johnny. And Eleanor Powell portrayed the intelligent and discerning Clare well - she saw through the playful side of her present dancing partner King. Another lovely character was played by Frank Morgan (Wizard of Oz, Shop around the corner) as the aghast agent when King, rather than Johnny (his discovery), took the leading role. The scene when he tried to make it up for Johnny was touching.

Of course the most impressive element is the dancing numbers not seen elsewhere. Clare Bennet's signature acrobatic dance and footwork was evident in her "I am the Captain" sequence, with somersaults and gliding on slopes. But the great finale "Begin the Beguine" is a Metro-Goldyn-Mayer show off - Astaire-Bennet duet in white dancing against a black background, their reflections in the floor-to-ceiling mirrors at the back and on the floor are eye candies. Bennet's flowing dress and its reflection on the floor moved fluidly. The moment you thought all was over, the duo came out in a simpler outfit and performed another great sequence. This time Astaire and Bennet danced side by side, the amazing footwork in the spotlight and the taps on the floor music to the ears. No frills, no distracting pop-ups, just tap dance, Astaire and Bennet danced as naturals and as equals. Bennet is tall, elegant and graceful.

I've watched 5 of Astaire-Ginger movies and they are a perfect match. Yet "Begin the Beguine" took it to the next level - superb, exciting and most gratifying. Frank Sinatra is so right saying "You can wait around and hope, but you'll never see the likes of that again." Musical fans, you simply can't miss this.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing Tapping.......2007-02-17

"Broadway Melody of 1940" features some amazing tapping. It is worth the purchase price just for the final 10 minutes of the movie! Eleanor Powell is a delight to watch, and is the perfect tap partner for Fred Astaire!

      A priceless document of archival footage and precious oral history, <I>Vaudeville</I> offers a comprehensive survey of American family entertainment in the decades before radio, movies, and television. From its origins in British comedy, Yiddish theater, and burlesque, vaudeville is explored in all of its immigrant diversity. Astonishing film clips are a constant marvel, featuring such vintage but still-entertaining crowd-pleasers as Fannie Brice, Bert Lahr, Chaz Chase ("Eater of Strange Things"), Little Tich and his oversized shoes, and Hadji Ali, the greatest of all "regurgitators." Anecdotes and history, with a focus on the inherent racism of minstrel shows, are shared by such luminaries as Rose Marie, Billy Barty, Gerald Marks, Bobby Short, the Nicholas Brothers, and many others (several interviewed shortly before they died). Their stories, along with Studs Terkel's fond reminiscence and Ben Vereen's informative narration, preserve a form of entertainment that has vanished forever, its spirit lingering in our habitual channel-surfing of television. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I>

            One of the most famous tap numbers in film history distinguishes <I>Broadway Melody of 1940</I>, the fourth and final installment in MGM's <I>Broadway Melody</I> series. When Clare Bennett (Eleanor Powell, who had appeared in <I>Broadway Melody of 1936</I> and <I>1938</I>) needs a new partner for her hit Broadway show, small-time hoofers Johnny Brett (Fred Astaire in his MGM debut) and King Shaw (George Murphy) get their big chance. But due to a case of mistaken identity, King, rather than the more talented Johnny, gets the job, and the girl. Astaire and Powell can't match the chemistry he had with Ginger Rogers at RKO, but she was the best technical dancer he was ever teamed with, and the sense of fun they share is infectious. Their above-mentioned tap duet to Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine" is legendary, but there are other fine moments as well: Astaire and Murphy's duet "Please Don't Monkey with Broadway," Powell's athletic number with a chorus of sailors "I Am the Captain," Astaire playing the piano and singing "I've Got My Eyes on You," and his and Powell's high-velocity duet "Jukebox Dance." <I>--David Horiuchi</I>
