Beware of Bachelors
Beware of Bachelors is a 1928 American part-talkie pre-code comedy drama film produced and released by Warner Bros. Pictures, and directed by Roy Del Ruth. In addition to sequences with audible dialogue or talking sequences, the film features a synchronized musical score and sound effects along with English intertitles. The soundtrack was recorded using the Vitaphone sound-on-disc system. The movie stars Audrey Ferris, William Collier Jr., Margaret Livingston, Clyde Cook, and George Beranger. The film was based on a short story by Mark Canfield (an alias for Darryl F. Zanuck). The film was originally to be titled "No Questions Asked." The film seems to be a loose remake of the previous year's If I Were Single as it suspiciously shares many of the same plot elements.
Plot
If Ed (William Collier Jr.) were not such a handsome doctor, his chances of happiness as a newlywed would be much greater. May (Audrey Ferris) isn't exactly jealous, but women find Ed's touch so magnetic that trouble is inevitable. One such woman, the vampish Miss Pfeffer (Margaret Livingston), makes a wild play for him. May notices the flirtation, blazes with rage, and quickly retaliates by picking up Claude de Brie (George Beranger), a perfumer whose idea of one grand whoopee is to spray scent.
