“Wedding Rehearsal is an interesting and gloriously dated film of upper classnsociety in Great Britain between the World Wars. Itu0026#39;s hard to believe that thesentwits actually ruled a world wide empire, coming apart at the seams as it wasnin 1932.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRoland Young a titled Marquis loves the life of a bachelor, but unless he getsnmarried and quick heu0026#39;s going to be cut out of the will and then heaven forfendnmight have to go to work. So he becomes a matchmaker to the Shropshirentwins Wendy Barrie and Joan Gardner to a pair of commoners but with thendistinctly British upper crust names of Binkie (John Loder) and Toodles (Maurice Evans).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn the meantime itu0026#39;s commoner Merle Oberon who sets her cap for Young andnof course what do you think happens in the end. Not terribly hard to figurenout. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTo say this is dated is to say milk is white. Back in the day Hitler over in thenGermany he took over used to import films like this to show how trulyndecadent the British had become and what an easy place it would be to knocknover. After looking at Wedding Rehearsal you might think so.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis was Alexander Kordau0026#39;s first film and he did love the British aristocracy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBinkie and Toodles? I mean, really.”
