How to Commit Marriage

Bob Hope and Oscar-winner, Jane Wyman star as the perfect married couple with one minor exception:They are about to announce their divorce.However, their daughter is getting married.And that's just the beginning.The young couple must deal with the trials and tribulations of the groom's father (Jackie Gleason) as he tries to stop the wedding.The film was quite fitting as Bob saw his own daughter Nora get married that same year.Taking the helm as director was longtime collaborator, Norman Panama.Panama directed Hope in Road To Hong Kong (the final "Road" picture), wrote That Certain Feeling, Monsieur Beaucaire, Road To Utopia and supplied the story for My Favorite Blonde.He also directed Danny Kaye in The Court Jester and penned the classics White Christmas and Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House.The film also stars Tina Louise (Ginger of Gilligan's Island), Tim Matthieson (National Lampoon's Animal House) and Leslie Nielsen (The Naked Gun).
