Movie Info

In New York, Mae Swasey (Thelma Ritter) practices the delicate art of matchmaking. When a handsome optician, Matt Hornbeck (Scott Brady), stands up his original match at the altar, Mae quickly sees an opportunity to put him with the more suitable Kitty Bennett (Jeanne Crain), a model and shop owner. Although Matt is reluctant to be tied down, he falls in love with Kitty and all goes well -- until the couple, neither of whom have known what Mae does, suddenly finds out about her profession.

Critic Reviews for The Model and the Marriage Broker

Thelma Ritter, in her first really starring role, is almost up to her previously high standards as a dry humorist. Jeanne Crain and Scott Brady provide romantic interest.

Associated Press
A breezy romcom that has some charm but falls flat when it tries to also be perceptive.

Audience Reviews for The Model and the Marriage Broker

Aug 26, 2013

If you've got Thelma Ritter in the cast you really don't need much more. This is a cute movie but without Thelma in one of the leads it would be nothing worth seeking out.
