Stars:

Quite popular when first released, Wedding Rehearsal is a bit obscure today, which is a shame when one considers the talented cast and production staff. Roland Young plays a diffident aristocrat who is pressured to marry by his veddy proper family. Imagine their shock when Young falls in love with (ugh!) a commoner. His working-class bride is played by Merle Oberon, who in real life became the wife of the film's producer/director Alexander Korda. The very first effort from Korda's London Film Productions, Wedding Reharsal costarred theatrical giant Maurice Evans and Hollywood stars-to-be John Loder and Wendy Barrie.
