Horace and Millie get married in their home town in Connecticut, and all they want is a romantic night in a big New York City hotel. After they check in at the hotel, they nervously go to their room and start to settle in. Horace decides to go downstairs and get a bottle of champagne while Millie is in the bathroom 'getting ready.' When Horace gets back to the room with the champagne he discovers that Millie is apparently in bed with the covers over her head. He is a bit taken back, but climbs into bed next to the shape under the blankets. It turns out that Millie is still in the bathroom, and beside him in bed is an apparently dead man. They run out of the room and find the hotel dick, a big guy named Callahan, but when they return to the room they cannot find any body in the bed. It seems that a couple of hoods hiding under the bed took the man out of the bed and locked him in the clothing trunk next to the bed. So when Horace and Millie find the body in the trunk, the run screaming out of the room again in search of Callahan. But while they are out of the room the apparently dead man wakes up and staggers out of the room, so when Callahan returns with the honeymoon couple, once again there is no body to be found. While trying to show Callahan how the body was in the trunk, Horace gets locked into the trunk. Now Callahan and Millie go to Callahan's room to find something to open the trunk with, and when they return the trunk is gone. The hoods have taken the trunk to their boss, thinking that 'Duke' is still inside.

This romantic comedy crime adventure continues down a twisted plot line in search of the biggest gangsters in the city, with our honeymoon couple smack in the middle. White kernel popcorn with warm melted butter never tasted so good as you laugh till you cry as you watch young Horace and Millie on their wedding night.

Some of my Favorite Motion Pictures:

Probably my all time favorite movie, My Man Godfrey in 1936 not only gives us an comedic peek at the wealthiest and poorest during the Great Depression, but also was the vehicle for Carole Lombard to create the movie icon of the 'dumb blonde screwball comedy' that is a popular theme even today.	Meet John Doe - 1941: The Frank Capra classic set in the Great Depression era that pits the common man against the political masters. You can't be a fan of old movies until you watch Frank Capra's old movies. This one premiered seventy years ago, and it still stirs our emotions and thoughts now. It is as timely as if it were produced today.
Angel and the Bad Man - 1947: John Wayne produced this movie about the Law of Attraction long before Rhonda Byrne shared her discovery of The Secret with the world!	The Time of Your Life - 1948: James Cagney financed this strangely different feel-good movie, and he plays the part of Joe, a barfly that tries to live his life by making everyone around him better. I watch this one often, and try to become more like Joe every day.
Pygmalion - 1938: Leslie Howard brings George Bernard Shaw's adventure to life in 1938 London. Sure Higgins could turn a gutter-tramp girl into the perfect lady, but could she then turn Higgins into the perfect husband? Some things are more difficult than others!	Charade - 1963: It doesn't get much better than Cary Grant and Audry Hepburn in a tale of death, deception, spies and lost wealth as a woman tries to sort out the good guys from the bad guys in this cold-war spy thriller love story.
