HERE COMES THE GROOM

Not Only Did I See This Movie... I Was In It!
Hello, I'm Beverly Washburn. After appearing in Superman and the Mole Men with George Reeves, my agent secured a role for me in Here Comes the Groom. I played the little war orphan, Suzie. My mom was thrilled that I would be in nearly every scene, except for the fact that I wouldn't speak english... only a little French. I went on to appear in many more movies (like Old Yeller and The Greatest Show on Earth), and by the time I reached my twenty first birthday, I was on more than 500 TV shows. But Here Comes the Groom is a favorite of mine. I still have the gifts that Bing and Jane sent me after the filming, and I have years worth of Christmas cards from Bing. He was a very nice man to me. Look for a "blooper" in the film when Jane Wyman takes off my coat. I can't believe they let that one slip. It's a wonderful film for the entire family, and I even get to sing a few bars of the Oscar winning song, In The Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening with Bing!

An Essential Film
This film is a must see for all who love old movies. Not only is the cast incomparable but the storyline keeps you hooked. Newspaperman Pete Garvey (Bing Crosby) has successfully elluded marriage until his girl back home (Jane Wyman) sends an ultimatum. After many delays he finally returns to find she is engaged to a multi-millionaire and the wedding is eminent. Hilarity ensues as he tries to win her back and keep two war orphans he's adopting. A Frank Capra masterpiece with the unforgetable song 'In the cool, cool, cool of the evening'.

Great Movie, worth getting !!
Ever since I was a kid I have loved this movie. I would watch it three or four times a week as a young kid. My older brother got me liking Bing Crosby and I tell you, this is one of his best in my opinion!! Great songs, great story, great acting, its all there!! I lost the movie some years ago and now I'm getting it so my wife can see it!!
