John Beal, fine as the yokel groom, whose hick tactics are screamingly funny. Wanda McKay is cute as the bride. HER CARDBOARD LOVER— M-G-M This dated farce isn't the sophisticated type of film fare it was meant to be. In fact, there isn't much to be said in its favor, except that Norma Shearer wears stun-J ning clothes ; Robert Taylor and George Sanders, herj handsome leading men, do a good rough and tumblcj cellar-fight sequence. Norma hires Bob as her secretary! (her cardboard lover) to keep Sanders _ away. Bob loves her and takes great delight in his duties. Norma, annoyed with Bob at first, finds she loves him, too.
