yesterday i re watch the wedding night ( 1935 ) and this time with my wife who have never see it before . for me it be like watch it all over again for the first time . i think that this happen with great picture and like this one . she also love the film and i felt so gratify by that and because sadly this type of quiet and sensitive film be not the kind of film which you can watch with anybody and can be fully appreciate a it should be . i be a fan of the gary cooper of the late 20 and 1930s and in my opinion some his best film be make around this time and before his definitive screen persona be establish and especially in the early thirty . he give a sensitive and balanced and nuanced and performance in a film that look like a slice of life . his character be so unarchetypical and so honestly portray by him and that you get immerse totally in this beautiful love story . and this be no by chance and because the film be direct by the masterful king vidor . praise must also go to the two actress that vividly portray the two woman in cooper life represent the unjustly forget and underrated russian actress anna sten and the equally unfairly forgotten actress helen vinson . miss vinson portrays without fall in the caricature and a shallow and but at the same time likable society woman and who think that life be a never end party and do not take marriage as seriously a it should be take and realize it too late . miss sten play the naïve but strong will polish woman who reluctantly at first and begin to fall for the writer portray by cooper . the scene in which cooper read to her the first chapter of the new ( autobiographical ) book he be write and be most telling in this aspect while because miss sten do not fall for the dashing and tall and handsome cooper and but for his character sensitiveness and feeling and emotion which she apprehend by mean of this book in progress . in short and none of the three principal of this story incur in stereotypical portrayal and which help me to connect with their character emotion and with it virtue and flaw . a wonderful experience and which with no doubt i will repeat in the future and because this film deserve many viewing and be just my kind of film while a simple love story and unpretentiously direct and that do not aim at over sentimentality and do not fall into the maudlin which can ruin a movie and with superb and unaffected performance by the lead .
