Plot

It tells the story of love and eventual marriage of an Iranian girl named Shirin and an American engineer working in Iran.

Reception

Variety called the film an "alternately charming and overwrought Persian comedy of manners". Kevin Thomas wrote in the Los Angeles Times that Marriage, Iranian Style was "a most effective comedy, full of warmth and affection, that at the same time is remarkably daring, considering the tenseness of U.S.-Iranian relations", also noting that its "timely subtext tinged with melancholy over East-West relations".
