GROOM WORE SPURS, THE(1951)
The opening song here sounds like it came from a
TV sitcom in the 50s! Ginger Rogers here(no Fred
Astair), plays an attorney for a silver screen
cowboy star that's anything but a cowboy!! He
gets in to trouble in Las Vegas and she's bound
to try to get him out of it! Oh, and she's
quite smitten with him! This has old Vegas
(and I really mean OLD)! in it! You get to
see the Pioneer, Las Vegas Club and the Monte
Carlo! This is pretty cute! C+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Beautiful blonde lawyer Ginger Rogers (as Abigail
"AJ" Furnival) arrives to help chubby cowboy star
Jack Carson (as Ben Castle) get rid of a Las Vegas
gambling debt. Obviously a fan of her client, Ms.
Rogers falls in love at first sight, despite Mr.
Carson admittedly being "a little slow on the draw."
In fact, Carson hates horses...
This slow-moving star vehicle didn't advance or
sustain anyone's career. Rogers and Carson are
appealing but unlikely lovers. More sparks are
generated between Rogers and Carson's handsome
pilot James Brown (as Steve Hall). But "The Groom
Wore Spurs" has moments, especially when hilarious
maid Mira McKinney (as Mrs. Forbes) makes the scene.
The nicely assembled cast includes future producer
Ross Hunter (as Austin Tindale), a bank clerk being
seduced by Joan Davis (as Alice Dean), and director
Richard Whorf.
