Интересные факты

Strictly Dishonorable is a 1931 American pre-Code romantic comedy film directed by John M. Stahl and starring Paul Lukas, Sidney Fox, Lewis Stone, George Meeker, and Sidney Toler. It was written by Gladys Lehman and based on Preston Sturges' 1929 hit Broadway play of the same name. Strictly Dishonorable was Sturges' second play on Broadway, and his first to be filmed.

Production

Universal paid Preston Sturges the record sum of $125,000 for the rights to Strictly Dishonorable, equal only to RKO's 1931 purchase of the rights to Cimarron.

William Ricciardi is the only actor who also appeared in the Broadway production of Strictly Dishonorable. Dempsey was the maiden name of Preston Sturges' mother. Natalie Moorhead played the role of Lilli, one of Gus's lovers, but her scenes were deleted. Sidney Toler went on to fame playing Charlie Chan.

The film was in production from June 30 to August 15, 1931, and was released on December 26 of that year. The Los Angeles premiere took place at the Carthay Circle Theatre.
