About I Was a Mail Order Bride
On a bet with one of his practical-joking partners, a Los Angeles lawyer responds to an ad from a pretty Chicago magazine writer offering herself as a bridal candidate as an investigative reporting assignment, and then makes another bet that he can keep the relationship platonic for two weeks.
Directed by Marvin J. Chomsky, I Was a Mail Order Bride leans on a strong ensemble — Valerie Bertinelli, Ted Wass, Kenneth Kimmins — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1982.
