The Bride Wore Boots (1946)

Horse enthusiast Barbara Stanwyck is married to Robert Cummings, a popular Civil War scholar. When his dislike for horses and her jealousy toward his overly-familiar fans get between them, they decide to divorce. It’s not one of my favorite Stanwyck films, but it does have enough humor and silliness to make it worth a watch. It’s a rare film that allows all of the characters to shine equally, even a teeny Natalie Wood in a small role as the couple’s daughter, but it definitely does nothing to making me think the Steeplechase is a good idea for horses.
