Marry the Girl is a 1935 film farce, directed by Maclean Rogers, who wrote the script. It is a screen adaption of the original 1930 Aldwych farce of the same title, written by George Arthurs and Arthur Miller.
Nine of the twelve Aldwych plays had been adapted for film by 1935, with some of the leading roles played by members of the original stage company. Eight of these films were directed by Tom Walls and one by Jack Raymond. The production companies for the earlier films in the series were British & Dominions Film Corporation and Gaumont British. Marry the Girl, however, was filmed by British Lion Films with none of the original stars, except for Winifred Shotter reprising her stage role.
