I'd like to add another title to the list – an Italian film which is rarely shown anymore, Bell ' Antonio (1960). Marcello Mastroianni plays a newlywed who is unable to consummate his marriage to Claudia Cardinale and is bringing shame to his family and the bride's. Although he never articulates the exact reason why he can't perform, it appears to be more a case of "stage fright" than a physical problem. Despite the description, the film is not a comedy but a sensitive character study. And unlike the other titles above, the marriage remains unconsummated at the fadeout.

You get the distinct feeling of “delayed consummation” in the comedy “Arsenic and Old Lace.” Cary Grant and Priscilla Lane are more than ready to start their honeymoon when Grant stumbles onto the truth about his elderly aunts…they are, in fact, insane murderers. Lane keeps trying to get him in a cab on their way to married bliss. But for the rest of the movie, Grant has other things on his mind.

How about The Quiet Man? Also The Family Way? Haven't seen it in a while, but I think that was the premise.

That Touch of Mink:  First it's out-of-wedlock "delayed consummation", then once they are married it's Cary Grant's character that suddenly has the hives on their wedding night!

Delayed consummation, indeed!  I almost forgot about one of my favorite Charlton Heston/marauding ant movies — The Naked Jungle!  Charlton, as Mr. Leningen, marries Eleanor Parker, as Joanna, via proxy, but then freaks out when he discovers she's a widow — been married before.  Ick!  He's intimidated and won't bed her.  Oh, he of little experience!  They don't get it on until the marabunta are at their door and he finally realizes she's got the right stuff.  And then she gets right stuffed, all right!Great sexual tension, and none-too-subtle talk of pianos being better when they're played (ahem!).  What a movie!  And good use of a shrunken head to intimidate his new bride…hmmm…that doesn't sound right, does it? I meant a REAL shrunken head, folks. 

You forgot "the Glenn Miller Story".  They end up in their bridal suite and suddenly the band friends pop up in the room.  They end up in Harlem listening to Louie Armstrong to the "wee" hours of the morning.

do  you have any information or photos of two actors who you don"t see or here much about , their names are i think Edsen Stroll and Alan Curtis. I think they are both very attractive, and are underated!! I would very much appreciate any information!!.thanks, jerry

I promptly thought of 'Lord Love a Duck' where Roddy McDowall's character instructs Barbara Ann (Tuesday Weld) how to get what she wants – when she wants, and marries, the wooden youth minister, McDowall keeps their relation celibate, mostly by inflicting physical harm on the poor sap.

Excellent list! Don't forget:The Trap (1966)–Oliver Reed plays a crude French-Canadian trapper who takes a young mute girl (Rita Tushingham) as his wife. It's been a long time since I've seen this but I think there's a drunk scene where Reed tries to assert himself and Rita flees into the snow. He follows and guess what (see movie title) is waiting in the woods for him!The Barefoot Contessa (1954)–Ava Gardner is a simple Spanish girl who becomes an actress and the darling of jetset society. She marries Rossano Brazzi, a gorgeous Italian count who can't fulfill the wedding night owing to a war injury. She continues to follow her free spirit lifestyle including indulging with a former lover and the count kills her. The movie takes place during her funeral with a series of flashbacks narrated by Humphrey Bogart, Edmond O'Brien and Warren Stevens.   

Medusa,Did I get the wrong take on "The Naked Jungle!"  I got the vibe that Eleanor Parker was not a widow but a discarded mistress and that was Heston's hangup.  (That was just a little sin of ommision on her part, do you think a class act like Ms. Parker would have left the states if she was a respectable widow-woman.) He wanted a virginal hothouse flower to initiate and what he really got was a vixen who was oh say, just a little shopworn for his taste (although she hid it under a nice veneer.) Chuck, get over yourself, who cares that the tamper evident seal got broken.  You need a strong woman to deal with the frontier and your macho manliness – Eleanor is just the ticket . . hot, hot, hot . . it's steamy watching his libido fence with his pride! The ant menance forces him to blank or get off the pot, so to speak.

Thanks for the additions Athena729.  I've yet to see The Trap (1966), and I shouldn't have forgotten to include The Barefoot Contessa (1954) on my original list.

How about My Favorite Wife? Cary Grant's character re-marries after having his first wife declared dead, after years of being missing. Then, as they arrive at their honeymoon location, Cary sees first wife, Irene Dunne, in the lobby. Decidedly stalls the honeymoon!

Hi Cso!Well, the effect is the same, but I do believe that Parker is definitely supposed to be a widow.  Check out the synopsis here– http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/title.jsp?stid=84539–and there's the angle that she had a connection with Leningen through his brother and that's why she specifically went all that way to be with him.  Whatever got her there, it's almost funny watching him fume and get all aroused, such as when he has to put the insect potion on her nekkid shoulder.  What a movie!  I think it's one of Heston's most entertaining!  The only thing I don't like is that they never really show the last clinch — the shot is a far, far longshot of the devastated landscape and even the "The End" comes up over Leningen and his madame embracing in the now-antless ruins of the plantation!  I think we got cheated!  :-)

This is a late entry, but I am completely lost on  the current  "picnic basket social" "didja eve notice"."Fallen" Angel" 

Certainly The Doughgirls (1944) qualifies and should be on this list.
