At the same time, Fred shows his cynical club friend Howard a diamond bracelet to which he has attached his apartment key and wagers that, after giving Evelyn the bracelet, he will \u0022propose\u0022 successfully to her. Howard, who is sure that Evelyn only wants the millionaire\u0027s cash, wagers enough money to cover not only the cost of the bracelet but, in case Fred\u0027s \u0022proposal\u0022 works, the apartment as well. That night, Fred makes a skilled proposal but is rejected by Evelyn, who also refuses the bracelet and the key. At the end of evening, however, Evelyn surprises Fred with a future invitation for a home-cooked dinner. Unknown to Fred, Evelyn and Margy are plotting to use the dinner and Lou, an old character actor, to trick him into marriage. During the dinner, Lou suddenly shows up and introduces himself to Fred as Evelyn\u0027s out-of-town father. When Lou then \u0022assumes\u0022 that Fred is Evelyn\u0027s husband, Fred, anxious to win his bet with Howard, confirms the actor\u0027s seeming misconception. Later, however, Fred tries to take advantage of Lou\u0027s apparent confusion and stay the night with Evelyn. Appealing to Fred\u0027s sense of fair play, Evelyn convinces him to spend the night at his club and return the next morning to \u0022play husband\u0022 for Lou. Fred then realizes that he truly loves Evelyn and makes her a genuine proposal of marriage. Evelyn, too, has fallen in love and, while accepting Fred\u0027s proposal, dreads confessing her ruse. Howard, meanwhile, has grown suspicious of Lou and gets him drunk at Fred\u0027s \u0022stag\u0022 dinner. Once intoxicated, Lou reveals himself as an actor and exposes Evelyn\u0027s trick to Fred. As revenge against Evelyn, Fred, Howard and other club members decide that, during the \u0022forever after hold his peace\u0022 part of the marriage ceremony, they will all stand up and speak. However, because she does not want to marry under false pretenses, Evelyn leaves Fred waiting at the church. Fred pursues Evelyn to her home and persuades her to go ahead with the marriage. At the church, Fred then shows his friends a letter that Evelyn had written to him confessing her hoax, and the wedding proceeds without further incident.","wins":0,"nominations":0,"casts":[{"name":"Geoffrey Kerr","code":"nm0449698","characters":"Fred"},{"name":"Mary Brian","code":"nm0047720","characters":"Evelyn"},{"name":"Johnny Hines","code":"nm0385686","characters":"Howard"},{"name":"Marie Prevost","code":"nm0696679","characters":"Margy"},{"name":"Joseph Cawthorn","code":"nm0147248","characters":"Lou"},{"name":"George Irving","code":"nm0410271","characters":null}],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":null,"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":null,"keywords":[],"production":[{"id":"co0041421","text":"RKO Radio Pictures"}],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[]}
