Bring The Little Woman...Maybe She'll Die Laughing!

Comedy

Stanley Ford leads an idyllic bachelor life. He is a nationally syndicated cartoonist whose Bash Brannigan series provides him with a luxury townhouse and a full-time valet, Charles. When he wakes up the morning after the night before - he had attended a friend's stag party - he finds that he is married to the very beautiful woman who popped out of the cake - and who doesn't speak a word of English. Despite his initial protestations, he comes to like married life and even changes his cartoon character from a super spy to a somewhat harried husband.

VIBE

A breezy, mid-century romp that playfully skewers bachelorhood and the institution of marriage. Its charm lies in its witty dialogue and lighthearted take on domestic absurdities, making for a delightful, gentle satire.
