The Bride Came C.O.D. (1941)




A financially-strapped charter pilot hires himself to an oil tycoon to kidnap his madcap daughter and prevent her from marrying a vapid band leader.

Although this sounds like it could be a madcap screwball comedy the humour is sparse and the pacing is not fast but rather patchy. Amazing, if you consider the talent involved.
