Married. Michael Wilding, 45, British actor of stage (Nude with Violin) and screen (The Glass Slipper); and Susan Nell, 42, London interior decorator; he for the third time, she for the fourth; in Las Vegas...

Richard Galvin as the Bridegroom seems slightly foppish in the part and his stage presence is at times lacking.

To get French toast for breakfast, he had to "make out a requisition" the night before; his teenage daughter dispatched him to a movie because "we've got to turn out the lights now and neck." And in the sanctity of his own rooms was a frumpish wife (Sylvia Sidney) who read psychology books, plastered...
