One of Hollywood’s most beloved film couples, William Powell and Myrna Loy, star in this irreverent romantic romp about an unlikely pair of star-crossed lovers.Margit Agnew (Loy) is the domineering head of a wealthy family, which includes her deferential younger sister, Irene, and Irene’s milquetoast fianc?e, Waldo. Unbeknownst to Margit, the couple secretly dream of Hollywood careers and have gotten involved with local theater gypsy Charlie Lodge (Powell), who lives in a trailer next to his favorite bar. When Margit discovers these wild ideas, she intervenes to “save” her sister. Charlie has taken a fancy to Margit and forces her into an unusual bargain: She must spend three weeks with the mad bohemian and, in return, he’ll never see Irene again. But when Cupid’s arrows start to fly, things really get crazy! Filled with clever plot twists, scintillating dialog and top-notch performances, Double Wedding is twice as much fun as you’d expect.
