      • Trivia
        The original script had to be adjusted when PCA Director Joseph Breen questioned the advisability of "dealing with so serious a subject as a bigamous marriage, where the treatment is set for comedy." After a few changes, Breen did approve the film.

      Cute story performed by great cast
      Joseph Schildkraut made a career playing villains, including the most villainous of villains, Judas, betrayer of Christ.

      In "Lady Behave!" he is a flamboyantly likable bad guy, giving one of his most charming and enjoyable performances.

      Sally Eilers is the nominal star, and usually she is adorable and lovely. Here, though, there is something lacking. She looks more frazzled than the role calls for, and in her earliest scenes she is not quite believable.

      On the other hand, her "sister," played by a mostly unknown (these days) Patricia Farr, is not only adorable but believable as the under-the-influence madcap.

      Neil Hamilton, who had a long career, was another smooth and very good-looking leading man, and his performance here helps explain just why he was in demand from silent days through TV series.

      As his two children, Marcia Mae Jones and George Ernst were simply outstanding, carrying off the not-entirely-believable roles with charm and energy.

      There seem to be some holes in the script, and not all the attitude changes are well explained, but, so what? It's fun.

      There is a fair print at YouTube and I do recommend "Lady Behave!" for an enjoyable hour.
