Getting Married is a 1978 American made-for-television romantic comedy film directed by Steven Hilliard Stern, written by John Hudock, and starring Richard Thomas, Bess Armstrong, and Mark Harmon. A man falls in love with a newscaster and attempts to win her heart before she weds another man.[2]
Michael Carboni, an associate director at a TV studio, falls in love with Kristine Lawrence, the station's newscaster. However, Kristy is due to be married in a week, and Michael has yet to reveal his feelings to her. Michael must find a way to get Kristine's affection and have her call off the wedding.
Sherry Woods of The Miami Herald called it "a light-hearted piece of fluff".[3] The Los Angeles Times praised the "bright dialogue and winning characterisations" but said "there's an underlying queasiness to the premise".[4]
