Lady! Please! is a charming little comedy from 1932 that really captures the awkwardness of courtship. The film centers around Arthur, who is hilariously persistent in his pursuit of Betty. Her brother Vincent, on the other hand, disapproves and adds a nice layer of tension, although it's all played for laughs. The pacing is brisk, keeping the tone light and engaging throughout. It's interesting to see how the humor reflects the era's social norms, particularly in terms of romantic relationships. The performances are a bit over-the-top, in a way that feels authentic to early sound films, and the practical effects, while not groundbreaking, do add to the playful atmosphere. Overall, it’s a delightful snapshot of early 30s comedy.
This film has had a limited release history, with few prints surviving, making it a bit of a rarity for collectors. It was released on VHS a while back, but it’s hard to find in any format these days. The scarcity adds to its appeal, especially for those interested in pre-Code cinema. Although not widely discussed, serious collectors often appreciate its comedic style and representation of early 1930s social dynamics.
