They All Kissed the Bride

They All Kissed the Bride is a 1942 American screwball comedy film directed by Alexander Hall and starring Joan Crawford and Melvyn Douglas.

Crawford took over the title role after Carole Lombard died in a plane crash in early 1942.

They All Kissed the Bride was slated to star Carole Lombard in a follow-up film to the successful To Be or Not to Be.

In fact, Mayer rarely lent stars of Crawford's stature, not wanting other studios to profit from MGM's star-making machine.

Crawford insisted that Melvyn Douglas (with whom she had appeared in 1938's The Shining Hour and 1941's A Woman's Face) star with her.
