There Goes the Groom (film)

There Goes the Groom is a 1937 screwball comedy film directed by Joseph Santley, starring Ann Sothern and Burgess Meredith. It was Burgess Merediths second film and his first screen comedy his first film, Winterset 1936, was a serious romantic drama.

The working title for the film was Dont Forget toRemember. The part played by Burgess Meredith was originally scheduled to be played by John Boles.Variety said about the film, The yarn is wellworn around the edges, but ... buoyantly and skillfully acted by each least or large member of the cast... The direction, camera and production are all firstrate. Theatres catering to smart clientele should especially look into There Goes the Groom, while The New York Times said it was an amiable comedy which ... may best be described as a cinematic exercise for Burgess Meredith, who dominates the whole affair. His performance, like the film, is occasionally brilliant, but on the whole does not merit more than a polite, indulgent commendation... He appears to be more at ease before the camera than he was in the memorable Winterset. His approach is less strained and he seems to have dropped most of his stage mannerisms. ........
