I first saw this movie probably in the 60's on home TV on WTIC TV morning movies. I distinctly remembered the cowardly bride and her Indian suitor but not much else. I recently bought it in British format as it is never available in the states and saw it on a player that can play all versions of DVD's. Ginger Rodgers and her costar Cornel Wilde were wonderful actors in a great romantic comedy. Ginger was great with other co-stars not just Fred Astair. Catch this on Classic TV, Blockbuster online or petition its re-release here in the US.

After jilting three grooms at the altar on the wedding day, a young woman (Ginger Rogers) is contemplating a fourth (Ron Randell) when her future father in law (Thurston Hall) suggests she go away by herself to think it over. On the trip home, a man (Cornel Wilde) dressed as an Indian literally steps out of her dreams and proceeds to disrupt her life. Then she meets Wilde's doppelganger and the situations reverse. The film is hampered by an unusually wan screenplay by the normally reliable Melvin Frank and Norman Panama (THE COURT JESTER) and sloppily co-directed by the film's producer Don Hartman and the film's cinematographer Rudolph Mate. Examples: Wilde smashes a window at the train station to escape but no one reacts or seems to notice and Rogers bolts out of a cab without paying and the taxi driver just looks on! Rogers gives an irritating performance, looking quite matronly at age 36 but using a breathy baby voice inappropriate to her age. Wilde shows no talent for comedy as the dream man and does much better playing it straight as the doppelganger. With Spring Byington and Percy Waram as Rogers' befuddled parents.
The Sony DVD via Great Britain is a solid B&W transfer.
