Wedding Night

King Vidor, in his direction, handles the incidents with fine touch, keeping each character whole and consistent and developing a fluid action which moves easily from the American to the Polish home and back again.

Much of the pleasure of The Wedding Night rests in the way director King Vidor plays fair with his slight material, never condescending to its melodramatic potential while finding fresh ways to express it.

To add that the direction itself is generally undistinguished if not mediocre completes the sad story.

Anna Sten has never been more appealing than in this picture, and Gary Cooper gives his best performance to date.
