Here Comes the Groom is a real curiosity from the early 30s comedy scene, featuring a lighthearted blend of absurd situations and quirky characters. The pacing has that charming, almost erratic feel typical of the era, with Mike Scanlon’s journey from a mundane life to a ridiculous series of escapades catching the essence of desperation and silliness. The film cleverly uses practical effects for some of its comedic moments, especially during Mike's antics as he dons that mask. Performances are engaging, with a certain theatrical flair that adds to the overall whimsical atmosphere. It’s a delightful slice of period humor that stands out for its odd plot and charming execution.
This film has had a limited release history and can be quite elusive on physical formats, which adds to its collector's allure. Though not widely circulated, various prints exist, with some original reels being rare finds. Fans of vintage comedies often seek it out not just for its quirky premise, but also for its reflection of the era's comedic style, making it a niche interest in collectors' circles.
