Let's Get Married

About This Movie

Let's Get Married, directed by Gregory La Cava in '26, is a quirky blend of comedy and romance that really captures the chaos of college life. Billy Dexter, a football star with a penchant for brawling, is sent to reform under the guidance of a seemingly pious old woman. The twist? She's anything but devout—more of a saloon fighter with a fondness for drink. The pacing feels erratic at times, but it's all part of the charm. The performances, particularly Billy's, bounce between slapstick and heartfelt moments. It’s interesting how La Cava weaves the themes of rebellion and redemption in such a light-hearted way, despite the absurdity of the plot. Definitely a film that showcases an era where comedy was often laced with social commentary.
