The Marrying Man

1991 · 116 min

A breezy, uneven romantic comedy that coasts on star charisma and retro glamour, but often feels forced and lacks spark.

Tagline
Every man has a weakness. For millionaire Charley Pearl she's blonde, beautiful and loves to say "I do".
Overview
Charley Pearl, wealthy heir and gadabout, is slated to marry Adele, the daughter of a Hollywood tycoon. But, during a wild bachelor party in Las Vegas, Charley strikes up a flirtation with nightclub crooner Vicki Anderson that soon leads to her bedroom. When the couple are discovered by Vicki's beau, infamous gangster Bugsy Siegel, he makes a surprising pronouncement -- they'd better marry, or Charley is a dead man.
