'Quiet Wedding' is a 1941 British romantic comedy film directed by Anthony Asquith and starring Margaret Lockwood, Derek Farr and Marjorie Fielding. The screenplay was written by Terence Rattigan and Anatole de Grunwald based on the play 'Quiet Wedding' by Esther McCracken. The film was remade in 1958 as 'Happy Is the Bride'.

Premise



A young couple become engaged, but undergo a number of misadventures before their wedding ceremony.

Cast



Production



It was Lockwood's first film following a series of films with Carol Reed.

Critical reception



'The New York Times' wrote, "a foreword to the film states that its production was interrupted five times when Nazi bombs exploded on the studio, but all their destructive fury has left no visible mark on the quiet humor and the atmosphere of hearthside warmth that permeate this wisp of a tale about a young couple on the eve of their marriage...Anthony Asquith has directed with tender appreciation of his material this completely unpretentious and charming film, the component parts of which are as delicately balanced as the mechanism of a watch."
