Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member another review lost-grrrrr! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review ashley h 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Colorful musicomedy remake of LIBELED LADY.
