Wedding in White is a 1972 Canadian drama film written and directed by William Fruet, based on his earlier play.

Set during World War II, in a small (unnamed) Ontario community, the film stars Carol Kane as Jeannie Dougall, a teenager who is raped by Billy (Doug McGrath), a friend of her brother Jimmie's (Paul Bradley), while the two men are home on furlough.

The play and film were inspired by a real woman Fruet met in his youth, who had been forced to marry an older man by her parents in the same circumstances.

The movie, which won the Canadian film festival, works so well, I think, because the performances are good; this material could never stand being fancied up by overacting."
