Plot Summary

Henry Graham has a problem: he has spent his entire inheritance, and is completely broke. With no skills, the only option is to make money the old-fashioned way: marry in to it. With a temporary loan to tide him over, Henry has only 6 weeks to find a bride, marry her, and repay the money, or else he must forfeit all his possessions. Written by Drew from Baltimore

Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia The film as delivered by Elaine May was drastically re-cut and shortened ("butchered", according to some) by Paramount before its release. May sued Paramount after such drastic cuts and attempted to have her name removed from the credits, but was unsuccessful. Sadly, neither the director's cut of the film nor the original shooting script has ever been made publicly available. See more »
