'They All Kissed the Bride' is a 1942 American screwball comedy film directed by Alexander Hall and starring Joan Crawford and Melvyn Douglas.

The plot follows a trucking firm executive who falls in love.

Crawford took over the title role after Carole Lombard died in a plane crash in early 1942. Crawford donated all of her pay for this film to the American Red Cross.[http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/27457/They-All-Kissed-the-Bride/articles.html "They All Kissed the Bride"].

Production



'They All Kissed the Bride' was originally slated to star Carole Lombard in a follow-up film to the successful 'To Be or Not to Be'. However, she died in a 1942 plane crash after departing Las Vegas on her way back from a bond-selling tour. Louis B. Mayer at MGM agreed to let Crawford place on loan to Columbia, where producer Edward Kaufman had to rework the script to fit Crawford's style of comedy. In fact, Mayer rarely lent out stars of Crawford's stature, not wanting other studios to profit from MGM's star-making machine. Crawford insisted that Melvyn Douglas (with whom she had appeared in 1938's The Shining Hour and 1941's A Woman's Face) star opposite her.
