Interesting facts

Man Wanted is a 1932 American pre-Code romance film directed by William Dieterle and starring Kay Francis as a married magazine editor who hires a handsome secretary, David Manners. The film features Una Merkel and Andy Devine in supporting roles.

Production

Man Wanted had several working titles before it was released: "A Dangerous Brunette", "Working Wives" and "Pleasure First". The film was produced before the advent of the Production Code, and its themes of adultery would never have survived Joseph I. Breen's blue pencil.
