The Bride Came C.O.D. (1941 William Keighley)

A scrambled egg of a film, in which Harry Davenport should have received third billing (he's on screen way more than Eugene Pallette). It's particularly nicely photographed (by Ernie Haller).

Bette Davies is aerially kidnapped by James Cagney so she won't marry Jack Carson, who she's known for ten minutes. Naturally she ends up falling for her kidnapper, after sitting in a hundred cactuses. Or cacti. I don't care which.

With George Tobias, Edward Brophy, William Frawley. Music by Steiner. Written by the Epsteins from Earl / Musselman story.
