Interesting facts

Man-Proof is a 1938 American romantic comedy film directed by Richard Thorpe. The film is based on the 1937 novel The Four Marys written by Fannie Heaslip Lea.

Production

Man-Proof went into production in 1937 under the working title The Four Marys. In July 1937, it was announced that Richard Thorpe would direct the film, with Myrna Loy, Rosalind Russell, Melvyn Douglas and Franchot Tone in the leading roles. Douglas was replaced by Walter Pidgeon.

By the time shooting started, Myrna Loy was mourning the death of her friend and colleague Jean Harlow. Nevertheless, she recalled that she experienced production of Man-Proof as joyful because of her positive experience with co-stars Pidgeon and Rosalind Russell. Loy and Russell became friends during shooting, and they frequently had tried for the same movie roles in the past.
