"Consolation Marriage" is a 1931 American romantic comedy film directed by Paul Sloane. Starring Irene Dunne and Pat O'Brien in the lead roles, the film explores the complexities of marriage, love, and societal expectations during the early 1930s.
The story revolves around Jerry Bernard (played by Irene Dunne) and Tony Anthony (played by Pat O'Brien), a couple deeply in love but facing financial difficulties. When Jerry's wealthy aunt threatens to cut off her financial support unless they marry someone else, they make a seemingly unconventional decision to enter into a "consolation marriage."
Under this arrangement, Jerry marries Ted Drake (played by John Halliday), a wealthy businessman, while Tony marries Vivian Herford (played by Myrna Loy), a socialite. The goal is for both couples to secure financial stability while continuing their own relationship in secret.
