Product Details

Product Description

James Cagney stars as a pilot who agrees to "kidnap" the daughter of an oilman as she is about to elope and fly her to him before the marriage can happen. He will be paid ten dollars a pound for her, money he needs to keep his plane from being re-possessed. Bette Davis stars as the oil heiress and Jack Carson (did he ever actually get the girl in a movie?) is her singer-fiance who wants the publicity their marriage will bring. I can't say this is the funniest comedy I've ever seen. Davis spends most of the movie hollering and getting cactus needles pulled from her backside. It's a far cry from the kind of films for which she's usually remembered. This isn't Cagney's best work either, although he appears to be having fun. There are some fun moments, but you tend to expect more from a star pairing like this. Fans of these two great actors (like me) should watch this film, even though it is little more than a footnote in their careers.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Love This Movie!, Jun 15 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Bride Came Cod (VHS Tape)
I also love The movie, The Bride Came COD and wish it was on DVD!

It is about a Spoiled tempermental heiress who wants to marry some guy who her father hates and she runs off to marry him and she meets a no nonsense pilot who is planning on returning her to her father but they wind up getting stranded together and the sparks fly!

Yes this movie is very silly but it's a good movie anyway and Bette Davis and James Cagney are teriffic and I want this movie on DVD!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Want To See This Movie on DVD!, Oct 20 2003
This review is from: Bride Came Cod (VHS Tape)
I like to watch what they call screwball comedies and when this movie was shown on TCM I set my VCR timer and taped it and when I watched it I really enjoyed it and thought it was funny and the verbal sparring and sarcastic comments flying back and forth between James Cagney and Bette Davis and the silly situations they got them selves into was very amusing and I also liked Jack Carson and the actor who played the quirky old sherrif and I would really like for this under appreciated gem to be transferred to DVD!

4.0 out of 5 stars Bette Davis in a screwball comedy, Jan 22 2003
This review is from: Bride Came Cod (VHS Tape)
The Bride Came C.O.D is not one of their more well known movies but I enjoyed watching it and thought both Bette Davis and James Cagney did good in this screwball comedy and it's a shame that neither one of them made more of those lightweight screwball comedies.

This movie gets a bad rap from critics but I think it's cute and it's a movie I could definitely watch again.
