Janie Gets Married

Mayhem on wedding day at the Conway household, mom (Ann Harding) greets bridesmaids (Anne Gillis, Ruth Tobey), meets Dad (Edward Arnold) and preoccupied Joan Leslie (title character) tangles with her sly little sister (Clare Foley), Hattie McDaniel the exasperated maid, early in Janie Gets Married, 1946.

With her friend Scooper (Dick Erdman) who’s about to ship out, Joan Leslie (title character) aims to surprise her new husband Dick (Robert Hutton) and his war buddy at the night club, whom he failed to mention was “Spud” (Dorothy Malone), in the Warner Bros. post-war comedy sequel Janie Gets Married, 1946.

On their wedding day, engaged only briefly after his return from the war, Joan Leslie (title character) and Robert Hutton as Dick confer in secret, him disoriented by advice from his dad, her offering a contract, the parents (Edward Arnold, Ann Harding, Robert Benchley, Barbara Brown) intervening, in Janie Gets Married, 1946.

In the sequel to Janie (1944), Janie (Joan Leslie) marries her soldier boy and helps him adjust to civilian life.
