흥미로운 사실

Lonely Wives is a 1931 American comedy film directed by Russell Mack and produced by E.B. Derr for Pathé Exchange. Distributed by RKO Pictures after the merger of the two studios, it stars Edward Everett Horton, Esther Ralston, Laura La Plante, and Patsy Ruth Miller. The screenplay by Walter DeLeon is based upon a successful German vaudeville act called Tanzanwalt, penned by Pordes Milo, Walter Schütt, and Dr. Eric Urban. The German production was translated for the American stage by DeLeon and Mark Swan, under the same title as the film.

Production

Pathé announced that the film was going into production in mid-November 1930, with Russell Mack at the helm. Shortly after, it was reported that La Plante had been attached to the cast; La Plante was returning to films after a brief seven-month hiatus, during which time speculation arose that her career might be over. Her appearance in this film, and its success, would re-ignite her career.

Pathé announced that the film would be part of its 1931 schedule. It began to appear in the trades on Pathe's list of upcoming releases, but without a specific release date. The release was held up in late January due to the sale of Pathé to RKO Pictures. By the end of the month, the go-ahead was given to release the film. Finally, on February 16, RKO announced they would release the film the following week.
