Harry MacArthur Washington Star 06/10/2020
Despite a somewhat far-fetched and illogical story, despite the fact the tale creaks in a couple of its joints and becomes talky at times...The Bride Walks Out Is a more than moderately amusing screen entertainment. Go to Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine 08/28/2019
Ned Sparks and Helen Broderick help to lighten it, and Robert Young as the bride's alcoholic admirer was funny once or twice. But it is far from being one of the season's brightest comedies. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

11/06/2013 This newlywed marriage comedy probably wouldn't work today with its outdated chauvinist undercurrent and conclusion. See more bill t @Spuzz 04/28/2013 Enjoyable enough Stanwyck vehicle about a new bride (Stanwyck) and her husband (Michael Martin) weathering the storm trying to make their marriage work. The plot is rail thin, but keeps your interest. Robert Young is a dreamboat and Ned Spars is hilarious. A bit sexist, but still a fun watch nevertheless. See more 12/13/2012 Hopelessly dated in terms of male/female relationships, but still a pretty cute comedy. It seems, given the social mores of the day, that Gene Raymond's cash-strapped hubby could've solved a lot of his problems by socking Robert Young in the jaw right out, but I guess he was just trying to be nice about the guy putting the moves on his wife. Even temptation of adultery is played as harmless fun here. See more 12/12/2012 comedy but not that funny. See more 07/14/2011 here we have a class clash as upper class meets working class in this drama that holds up pretty well. See more 04/04/2010 Although this is a minor film, it does have Barbara Stanwyck, who always enhances a film. Helen Broderick and Ned Sparks offer good support. Not a great classic, but short and very enjoyable. I have never been a fan of Gene Raymond, I feel he pulls the film down with a performance that doesn?t seem sincere. Directed by Leigh Jason.
