This review is from: June Bride [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a delightful, breezy, romantic comedy. Bette Davis plays the part of Linda GIlman, a sophisticated and successful magazine editor. Robert Montgomery plays the part of her love interest, Carey Jackson, a foreign correspondent out of a job, who has been assigned to work with her. Having previously been romantically involved, they must now work together.

They travel to Indiana with their entourage where they will do a story on a June bride, having picked a middle class, average, small town family upon which to focus. While there, they get involved in the family's affairs, with a few delightful, though predictable, twists and turns. While getting to know the family, they make some personal discoveries about their own lives. It seems that embers of their own long ago romance, have merely laid dormant. With the flames being fanned, it looks like there may be more than one June bride.

Bette Davis is very soignee as Ms. Gilman, and Robert Montgomery provides a light hearted touch as the cavalier Mr. Jackson. Both contribute some comedic deftness, as does the supporting cast, to make this an entertaining film. The only wrong note struck during the entire film is in the last scene. It was almost embarrassing. I thought about deducting one star because of it, but then decided against it, as it was just reflective of the era in which the film was made. Actually, the whole movie was reflective of the era in which it was made, but that last scene was just too sexist for words. When you see it, you will know what I mean.

Fans of Bette Davis will surely enjoy this movie, as will those who love classic films.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bette as a Comic Actress, June 11, 1999

This review is from: June Bride [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I love this movie. It stars Davis in a romantic-comedy, which was rare. But the movie is quite funny, and Davis gives her usual terrific performance.
