Brides Are Like That

Brides Are Like That is a 1936 American comedy film directed by William C. McGann and written by Ben Markson.

[1] Bill McAllister is a quick talking nephew of a rich Uncle who has a shipping business, and to which he lives off of as a young man by charging most of his expenses ....he only has a single dollar saved in his sleeve.

Bill is a very fast talking, quick thinking person who uses flattery to impress people and get them to agree to his ideas....or at least stall off his creditors and detractors from talking action against him.

When Bill returns to their apartment that same evening, he assures his wife that he has paid his past due rents by selling his car and buying a tent so that they can go on an extended camping trip as a honeymoon.

Frank Nugent of The New York Times reviewed the film positively, praising the performances of the cast, and its adaptation of the Broadway play "Applesauce" by Barry Conners as avoiding common adaptation pitfalls.
