Clara Bow’s fifty-third movie was Her Wedding Night, produced between July 24 and August 15, 1930, and released on September 18, 1930. Clara played Norma Martin in a racy comedy about a young woman with a hyperactive love life.
Once again, Clara was playing a version of herself, and the fan magazines were not impressed. Suddenly, they’d discovered morality and were not happy with Clara’s personal life.
Photoplay climbed into the pulpit with this editorial: “She disregards all laws of convention and hopes to get away with it. She has no regard whatsoever for public opinion. Clara, we are afraid you are on a toboggan!”
Despite the bad press, Her Wedding Night was a great success. Despite the scandals, Clara Bow was still Hollywood’s #1 draw.
@HannahHowe Makes me think of what the same people would say two years later to “Baby Face”.
Watching that was a “they did what in pre-code?" moment.
Note to self: Write SF story about scientist who discovers the ability to send objects back in time, and sends a film transfer copy of WAP to the 20s.
