There Goes the Groom

About This Movie

There Goes the Groom is a quirky comedy that, while not widely celebrated, carries a certain charm. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, which can actually add to its offbeat humor. The film captures the essence of the late 1930s, with its lighthearted take on love and deception, while the performances—especially from the leads—give it a lively energy. The premise of a man returning home after striking gold only to face romantic complications is engaging, and the portrayal of the gold-digging family adds a layer of social commentary, albeit in a humorous way. It’s a nice snapshot of the era’s comedic style, though it may not stand out in a crowded genre.

This film is quite scarce in collector circles, with most prints being hard to find. It was released on VHS years ago, but any original film reels or vintage posters are particularly sought after by collectors. The film’s unique brand of humor and its exploration of social themes give it a niche appeal, making it a curiosity for those interested in the comedy genre from this period.
