Getting Married

About This Movie

Getting Married (1978) is a quirky little TV movie that blends comedy with romance in a way that's frankly charming. The storyline follows this guy who's totally smitten with a newscaster, and honestly, his over-the-top efforts to win her heart create a light, whimsical atmosphere. You can see the pacing is deliberately relaxed, allowing the humor to breathe and the romantic tension to build. The performances aren't groundbreaking, but they have a certain earnestness that suits the film’s vibe. It's a cozy watch that feels like a time capsule, with its 70s aesthetic and storytelling style, making it a unique piece for collectors who appreciate the oddities of television cinema from that era.

Getting Married has a bit of a niche following among collectors of vintage TV films. It was released as a made-for-television movie, which can make finding original broadcasts or VHS copies a bit tricky. This often leads to discussions among collectors about its place in the 70s TV landscape, showcasing a blend of humor and romance that’s not very common in today’s offerings. The scarcity of physical media and the film's unique charm keep it on the radar for those diving into the latter part of the golden age of television.
