synopsis
Critics and filmgoers of the 1950s were so dazzled by the beauty of French leading-lady Martine Carol that it hardly mattered whether or not she could really act. Few demands were made upon Carol's thespic skills in the skittish little farce Une Nuit de Noces. The story takes place during the honeymoon of notorious ladies' man Gaston (Jean Paredes). Before he is able to consummate his marriage, Gaston is confronted by his former mistress Sidonie (Carol), her boyfriend and his bride's mother. There's bedlam in the boudoir all night long, replete with slammed doors, stammered explanations and mistaken identities.
