Erroneously dated as 1931, this Lloyd Hamilton 1934 poverty row budget comedy may be his last starring role. He died January 19, 1935.
The newspaper shown in the film is the LA Evening Herald. It has an NRA seal with the headline 3 LA KIDNAPPERS GET LIFE. May 28, 1934 is the date published.
Plot has Lloyd in pursuit of his girl aboard ship. Dad wants her to marry a different suitor. There are some classic Hamilton moments especially with Arthur Housman and Gertrude Astor.
The question arises if WEDDING BELLES was ever released theatrically.
In the early 1940s, 16mm prints were struck for rental on this evasive title.
Don't miss an opportunity to see this film.
Note: The Museum of Modern Art list this title in their inventory, but are unable to locate the print when asked to view it.
