A Kiss for Corliss (retitled Almost a Bride before its release) is a 1949 American comedy film directed by Richard Wallace, written by Howard Dimsdale, and starring David Niven and Shirley Temple.

Marquis sends a box of candy to Corliss, infuriating Archer, who interprets the gift as a jab at his settlement demand.

Marquis visits the Archers and says that every word in the diary is true, that he is in love with Corliss, and that he wants to make her his fourth wife.

When Archer explodes in anger, Corliss admits that the diary is not true and was written to make Dexter jealous.

Marquis' lie is revealed and the men escort him outside, where an offscreen fight ensues, and Archer and Dexter both return bloodied.
