The Marrying Man

This stars Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger who keep on getting married and then separated again and again and again and again. Hence the title. The first time they get married is not by choice, they are forced to get married by a bad ass gangster, but after that they are squarely to blame.

Alec Baldwin (Charley) is rich and is engaged to the daughter of the owner of movie studio. Just before marriage he and his pals go to Las Vegas for his bachelor party.

At a bar they come across a gorgeous singer named Vicky (Kim Basinger) and Charley is stunned. He can't keep his eyes off her, and he wants to one last hurrah before he bites the dust! 

Charley sends his friends away and goes after Vicky and one thing leads to another and they end up jumping into bed where they are caught by gangster Bugsy Siegel and now it comes out that the doll Vicky is his moll. 

Of course, this is where the gangster Siegel is supposed to chop Charley into a hundred pieces and feed him to the hogs, but no, he has a more innovative punishment. He forces rich boy Charley to marry Vicky!

The next day Charley heads back home thinking it was quite a wild night but no harm done. 

But Siegel has gone a step ahead and announced to the whole world that Charley and Vicky are married. 

And thus begins the downfall of Charley as his engagement goes for a toss and he and Vicky get divorced and married again and again. 

They can't stay away from each other and so get married, and then they realize they can't stay together so grow apart. 

This movie was a flop for some reason, but I remember watching and enjoying it a lot. 

And well, the story is so different, definitely worth checking out I say. 

Unfortunately I couldn't find a trailer for this movie on the net, so here's a clip.
