See more 12/11/2014 another review lost-grrrrr! See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 07/28/2013 Easy to Wed is a decent film. It is about a reporter tries to compromise the reputation of a tycoon's slandered daughter to prevent a libel case against the paper. Esther Williams, Van Johnson, and Lucille Ball give good performances. The screenplay is enjoyable but a little slow in places. Edward Buzzell did an alright job directing this movie. I like this motion picture because of the humor and romance. See more 06/09/2013 Colorful musicomedy remake of LIBELED LADY. See more Read all reviews
