Short Cute Comedy

When his bride
to be commits suicide after being lied to by his family the groom leaves home and meets an Indian Squaw that he
eventually marries. His real reason for the marriage is to get back at his family but the plan backfires. Only 79
minutes long and is fun to watch. Sylvia Sidney pulls off the Indian Squaw role fairly well and Ann Sheridan does a nice
job as the bride.

2 stars out of 4, to be sure, but an enjoyable film nevertheless!
mmipyle3 April 2009
In the 1980's the
word 'incredible' became standard fare for people to describe something where they probably didn't mean
such a thing. The word means that something stretches credulity to the breaking point or posits that something just
cannot be. Well, last night I watched a movie that stretched things nearly to the breaking point. We've all watched
adventure movies, from early serials to Indiana Jones, where credulity is stretched to the limit, but we understand that
that is part of the fun of the film. But - NOT romance! Romance stretched to the limit has its own limits! I watched
"Behold! My Wife" (1934) with Sylvia Sidney, Gene Raymond, H. B. Warner, Laura Hope Crews, Juliette Compton,
Monroe Owsley, Ann Sheridan, young Dean Jagger, Eric Blore, and several other well known character actors. The story
begins by having Gene Raymond drunk as a skunk - evidently, an habitual thing with him - and having proposed to Ann
Sheridan, a common secretary. Raymond's family is the snootiest of the snooty and a common secretary is not to be
allowed! After several shenanigans, Ann Sheridan jumps out of a high building, committing suicide. By the way, this is a
very early role for her, and its the first where she goes by the name Ann Sheridan instead of Clara Lou Sheridan.
She's very good in her part. She also surprised me with the baby fat in her cheeks which disappeared within a year
or two. Anyway, Gene Raymond is very upset and takes off on a binge across several states. He eventually meets Sylvia
Sidney who is the daughter of an Indian chief. Sidney, for the record, never looked as beautiful as she does in this
film. I've seen her in films for years and always found her inviting, but she is downright beautiful in this film.
Okay, to continue: Raymond marries Sidney after her father has disowned her (it's too complicated to explain!), but
uses the marriage as a revenge tactic against his parents. His parents are not amused by the incident! We have Native
American versus 30's white man and it is used in the most obnoxious way! All in all, all of the points are
incredible in the real sense of the word. This would never have occurred. And yet... And yet... I really enjoyed this
film anyway! It was nicely acted; but...it was acted as if it were comedy much of the time. This was not a comedy.
Mitchell Leisen directed the film, and I think he had a difficult time making up his mind what the film was to be.
Social study. Romance. Drama. Part comedy, part drama. Who knows. It's only a two star out of four film, to be
sure, but I still enjoyed it. So will many who have the opportunity to see it.

I seriously doubt if you'll ever see this one on
television!
MartinHafer1 October 2015
I found this very strange film on YouTube and I really doubt if
you'll see this on any television station. This is because the film, though well intentioned, has a lot of racist
images of American Indians that will make a lot of people cringe. It also has one of the goofiest plots I've ever
see in an old film from Classic Hollywood.

Michael (Gene Raymond) has a socially conscious family that is
just plain evil. They're much more concerned about outward appearances than doing what is right or being happy. So,
when Michael finds a regular poor girl to marry, his sister decides to destroy the marriage! She lies to the
lady--telling her that Michael has run off and married another. The plan works wonderfully--and the fiancée commits
suicide!! When Michael learns the truth, he storms off--going on a self-destructive bender across America.

At
this point, the film starts to get mega-weird. When Raymond is nearly killed due to his reckless driving, he ends up at
an Indian reservation. There he is accidentally shot! The Apache lady (Sylvia Sidney) who raises him back to health is a
walking stereotype--with beads, costume, etc. all looking like she popped out of a western (even though it is supposed
to be 1934). Her brother, by the way, mostly says 'How' and spends his time drinking! So much for creating a
positive image of Native Americans! But here is the odd rub...the film is SUPPOSED to be positive in its depiction of
the Apache and is about racial unity and understanding!!

Soon, Michael decides to marry Tonita Storm Cloud
(Sidney) because he figures they'll be horrified to see him married to someone who ISN'T in the social
registry! He brings her back--assuming that the newspapers and society swells will all just die laughing. But his
strange plan doesn't go exactly as planned. If the plot sounds ludicrous, you're right...and it only gets
crazier!!!

Apart from showing American Indians in a silly and very stereotypical way, the film also picks a
very white actress to play the lead. The rest of her tribe DID appear to be Natives--and Hollywood often did
this--painting up white actors to play the main parts and using actual Indians for the rest. Yet, inexplicably, the film
ALSO wanted to preach understanding and tolerance!! Bizarre to say the least. 

But is it any good? Well,
it's NEVER dull! You also stay interested--mostly because Michael is such a jerk as well as his family. The way I
see it, it's a guilty pleasure--a well made bad film that is awful BUT fun to watch at the same time.

By
the way, the YouTube listing for this film called it 'Pre-Code'. Well, it isn't. The Production Code was
implemented in July, 1934-- and this film debuted several months later, in December. Plus, apart from the controversial
interracial marriage angle (I am surprised they were allowed to do this based on the new code), there isn't
anything salacious of Pre-Code-like about this movie.

Bad, but in a very watchable way
DangerAwesome30 March 2014
Warning:
Spoilers
Entertaining and yet kind of lousy, 'Behold My Wife' attempts to be a great many things and
only slightly succeeds at them all. At different moments it's a comedic farce, a drama, and a romance. It violently
switches between the 3 in a way that never fully works.

It begins as a drama, where Michael, a rich society
type, is about to be married to an average girl with a boring job. His disapproving snooty family convinces her that
Michael has left her, and she proceeds to kill herself. The family is both distraught and half relieved that
they've stopped the marriage. Ann Sheridan as the fiancé was very convincing. Even if she was only in the movie
for about 5 minutes, she was one of the highlights. When Michael finds out, he vows revenge.

The movie then
attempts to be a comedic farce. Michael goes on a drunken bender that ends with him in a bar in New Mexico, deep in
Apache country. He offers whiskey to a Native American who somehow manages to get drunk in under 30 seconds. So drunk
that he begins shooting up the bar, and then Michael. The daughter of the chief removes his bullet and nurses him back
to health.

Sylvia Sidney as the chief's daughter doesn't make any sense. She doesn't even seem
to attempt an accent, and doesn't look Native American at all. But this is in a day in Hollywood where Native
Americans weren't even allowed to play Native Americans. I've seen Sydney play a Chinese woman (Blood on the
Sun), Princess of a fictional European country (Thirty Day Princess), and now a Native American as well. That element
aside, Sidney did a fine job.

Michael's attempt to get revenge on his family is to marry the Native
American girl. Apparently never explaining his plan to the girl, who thinks he loves her. He sends his family a
telegram, to come meet his new wife from "one of the oldest families in the country". This is still in the
comedy portion of the movie. She comes East and makes a fool out of herself and his comedically snooty family, much to
Michael's enjoyment.

Then the movie takes a violent shift into romance. After Syndey realizes he
doesn't love her, she attempts revenge on Michael by pleading guilty to a murder she didn't commit. Michael,
now realizing he does love the girl, tries to save her.

'Behold My Wife' is a tight 79 minutes
which fly by. Never boring, but it's hard to really point to any part of it that was very good.
