DVD Reviews of We're Not Married
DVD Review: Uneven But Reasonably Enjoyable
Summary: 3 Stars
Suppose five couples learn, after 2-1/2 years of marriage, that their union is legally invalid? What follows after they learn this shocking news forms the premise of the comedy 'We're Not Married'.
The plot offers potential, but the delivery is uneven and the various stories told swing from very touching (Eve Arden/Paul Douglas) to hackneyed (Ginger Rogers/Fred Allen). The best segment, and the one they saved for last, is Eddie Bracken and Mitzi Gaynor as a young soldier and his newly unwed mother-to-be; you almost wish the entire movie was about them and their travails to re-hitch the knot.
Unfortunately, too much time is spent with the very first couple and "star" of this ensemble cast, Ginger Rogers. That forced imbalance undercuts the subsequent stories. Not the least of which is how unappealing her segment's co-star, Fred Allen, is in this particular role. I have nothing against the actor, but he was clearly miscast. Much too old, too crotchety, too fickle to ever have the audience believe Ginger's character would ever consent to a union, even for money.
And a paring down of the couples from five to three would've strengthened the film considerably.
Clearly, because this was filmed in 1952, the choices made are not nearly as dramatic or unusual as one would expect or hope for today more than half a century later. Still, on balance, I would say this is pretty decent and enjoyable - if only for the clever concept.
A couple of footnotes: Look for an uncredited bit part played by a young actor named Lee Marvin. And despite the prominent featured image of Marilyn Monroe on the DVD cover artwork, remember that she plays a small role in a large ensemble cast and her 'not married' scene was one of the shorter stories.
