Half a Bride (1928)

Directed by Gregory La Cava

“Trial marriage. Front pages of the papers preach it. Disappointed couples advocate it. Come see the experiment put to the test in as entertaining a screen story as you've seen in months.”

Drama, Romance, Adventure · 1h 07m

Patience Winslow is an impulsive heiress who marries a much-older man whom she really doesn't love. While honeymooning on her yacht without her new husband, Patience is marooned on a desert island with handsome Captain Edmunds. Her head full of notions that she's gleaned from radio dramas and pulp novels, Patience demands that she and Edmunds enter into an in-name-only marriage, observing the responsibilities and proprieties of matrimony without the sexual entanglements. Complications naturally arise.
