The Bride Wore Boots is a 1946 American romantic comedy film with Barbara Stanwyck in the title role, playing opposite Robert Cummings.

He is a Civil War historian and lecturer, which bores Sally but is very popular with local ladies who call themselves the Mason-Dixon Dames.

To spite his wife, Jeff also enters Albert in the big Virginia Cup steeplechase race that Sally's always longed to win.

[3][4] In June 1945 Cummings announced he would follow this film with Dishonorable Discharge from a story by John Farrow for Paramount.

[5] The New York Times wrote "The frivolous discords and disunions of elegant husbands and wives have so often been the subject matter of farces upon the screen that regular movie-goers must be pretty well numb to them by now.
