The performance given by robert cummings is good.He gets caught by his wife barbara stanwyck in the arms of diana lynn several times.Not by his own doing but he gets blamed anyway.Diana Lynn played a role of manipulation and did it very convincingly.And barbara stanwyck played the wife who is always one step ahead of everyone.

Synopsis
Rich and beautiful Southern heiress Sally Warren loves horse-racing and running her horse-farm although her husband of seven years hates the four-legged mammals. Spouse Jeff Warren is a successful author, Civil War scholar, and popular lecturer on the ladies club circuit. After Jeff buys aging twelve-year old nag Albert in the mistaken belief that he's a colt, and Sally purchases a desk for her husband in the naive belief that it once belonged to Jefferson Davis, it's obvious that they have few interests in common. The squabbling is complicated by Jeff's jealousy of Sally's relationship with Lance Gale, her childhood friend, neighbor, and fellow horse breeder. Sally in turn becomes enraged when the ubiquitous Mary Lou Medford, a flirtatious literary groupie, becomes omnipresent with her infatuation of Jeff. Although the strains on their relationship lands the couple in divorce court, circumstances and an equine cupid bring them back together again.

funny amusing comedy
Short cute comedy
Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Cummings are married but having problems. She loves horses and he doesn't. He keeps getting caught in compromising positions that aren't of his own doing. Natalie Wood is one of their children. She has a very minor part. Sort of cute and worth watching if you like one of the stars.
One hopeless rider
In a recent biography of Barbara Stanwyck I read that The Bride Wore Boots was a
flop at the post war box office in 1946. After watching the film my conclusion was that the movie going public was looking for more serious work in the post
World War 2 world. Before 1942 this might have actually made some money for
Paramount.
Stanwyck plays a Virginia girl from the country club horsey set who married a
Yankee writer played by Robert Cummings. Barbara loves her horses and her
husband can't stand them and is not at one with the horse when he tries to
ride.
There's also Patric Knowles who is a neighbor and who is after
Barbara and mushmouth southern belle Diana Lynn who is circling like a
bird of prey over Bob.
The climax is a steeplechase race with Cummings as a game, but totally hopeless rider. Prety funny stuff.
Not the best of Stanwyck films out there, but not too bad.
