    Alan Jay Lerner wrote several screenplays so may well have been a movie buff and if he saw this in 1947 he may well have retained subconsciously the title of one of the four Hoagy Carmichael songs that feature, namely I'm Getting Married In The Mornin', only for it to surface some nine years later as the first line of Get Me To The Church On Time from My Fair Lady. There is, in fact a fair lady on hand in the shape of Patricia Roc - provided with the bizarre credit 'introducing', not really apropos given that she'd made twenty something films in England since 1939. There's a second, even fairer lady in the shape of Susan Hayward, cast somewhat against type as a virtually demure bride- to-be (a role, let's face it, better suited to Roc) as opposed to her usually feisty virago. The cast is interesting to say the least with Dana Andrews, Andy Devine, Brian Donleavy, Carmichael, Ward Bond and Llyod Bridges among others. Although he's included most of the classic 'Western' ingredients Tourneur opts to let them simmer on a low light rather than throwing them into a saucepan and turning the heat up. I'm guessing it requires repeated viewings to really appreciate.
