It'd be a great excuse to get rid of pestery people. "Oh, I don't date, I accidentally got legally married during a movie shoot, and it's so complicated to get undone that I don't want to make it worse."

It sounds like the premise for a Hallmark movie.

"We were in a movie and they brought in an actual priest and he performed the actual marriage ceremony so we're actual-married ... and maybe we actually love each other ...."?

Complete with outrage from the previous high-profile girl/boyfriends of the couple.

he he ... does anyone know of the movie "Once More With Feeling" - a romantic comedy starring Yul Brynner (!) and Kay Kendall. He's a famous conductor, she's his wife but when she says she wants a divorce he reminds her they aren't actually married. Hijinks ensue.

That sounds familiar, Toddson, but I can't decide if I saw it. [link]

Your post reminded me of the Cary Grant/Irene Dunne movie, My Favorite Wife. She's been presumed dead for seven years, and then on the eve of his remarriage, she returns, and he learns she's just spent seven years on an island with a handsome stranger.

Randolph Scott played the handsome stranger in My Favorite Wife. Which was remade in the early '60s as Move Over Darling, with Doris Day and James Garner.

Trivia -- the remake was originally intended as a Marilyn Monroe vehicle titled Something's Got to Give. Some filming was done (I've seen footage of a scene with Monroe in a swimming pool.), but it was never completed because Monroe was fired and then died not long after.

Esquire has an appreciation for Bram Stoker's Dracula

I'm fond of that movie, even though it's a big mess. :-) It's such gorgeous, bombastic eye candy.

A friend of mine once called it "Van Helsing and the Three Stooges vs. Dracula" and I've thought of it that way ever since. But, yeah, it's a lot of fun and full of pretty.

I remember thinking Bram Stoker's Dracula was weird, but kind of enjoying the weirdness. Scott and I went to see that when we were dating. We went to a late showing, and a mother had her toddler there, which seemed wrong on several fronts.

This I knew. I remember Move Over Darling too.

This I did not know, or at least did not remember. Poor Marilyn. IMDb has an entry on it. [link]

Cindy - the IMdb you linked to was the movie I was thinking of.

edited to add: I enjoyed Bram Stoker's Dracula - it was a little crazy, but lush. A friend sort of wrinkled her nose at it and called it soft-core pron ... and I don't really see a problem with that.
