The Wrong Miss Wright

About This Movie

So, 'The Wrong Miss Wright' is a fun little comedy from 1937 that plays with the classic theme of mistaken identities. You've got Charley, who’s trying to dodge an arranged marriage, and it turns out the girl he's pining for is actually the same one he's trying to escape. It’s a light romp with a whimsical tone that captures the era's charm. The pacing is brisk, keeping the comedy lively, and while the director is unknown, the performances have a certain earnestness that adds to its appeal. There's something distinctively old Hollywood about the way the misunderstandings unfold, making it a curious piece to revisit for anyone interested in pre-war comedy.

This film has had a bit of a mixed history in terms of formats; it's not the easiest title to track down, as it hasn't been released widely on home video. Given its age, collectors might find it in various formats, but rarely in pristine condition. Its scarcity, coupled with the unique premise and period charm, makes it one to keep an eye on for those who appreciate the subtleties of vintage comedies.
