Girls to Marry is one of those charming little comedies from the early '30s that captures the bachelor lifestyle with a lighthearted twist. The story revolves around three brothers, each holding onto their bachelorhood amidst a backdrop of mounting rent troubles. The landlord, being a matchmaker, adds a delightful layer of tension as he pushes the oldest brother towards an impending marriage with a wealthy heiress. The pacing is pretty brisk, which keeps things entertaining, and while the performances are not groundbreaking, they do provide a genuine sense of camaraderie and humor. Plus, the era’s practical effects lend a unique touch that simply isn't found in modern films. Overall, it’s a slice of early cinema that showcases the social dynamics of the time in a comedic light.
Girls to Marry has had a somewhat limited presence in collector circles, with few prints available, making it a bit of a rarity. Most known copies are in the form of VHS or old broadcast tapes, and any original film reels are hard to come by. Collectors often appreciate its historical context and lighthearted exploration of social norms, alongside its comedic approach to marriage and bachelorhood in the early 1930s.
