Don't Bet on Women

Offended lawyer and host Drake (Roland Young) is upset at his client and guest Fallon (Edmund Lowe) for suggesting he could seduce any woman, proposing a bet into which his own virtuous wife (Jeanette MacDonald) unknowingly walks, the main premise, in Don’t Bet On Women, 1931

Roger (Edmund Lowe) and Chip (J.M. Kerrigan) are about to go yachting, to get away from women in general, when Kentuckian Tallulah (Una Merkel) swims by, pre-Code innuendo ensuing, early in director William K. Howard’s Don’t Bet On Women, co-starring Jeanette MacDonald.

The agendas of bored playboy Roger (Edmund Lowe) and socialite Jeanne (Jeanette MacDonald) are not quite clear here, in their first scene together after she insisted on following through on her husband’s bet that he could not kiss her within 48 hours, in Don’t Bet On Women, 1931.

Joining the opening scene, jaded New Yorker Roger (Edmund Lowe), in from an evening with Chip (J.M. Kerrigan), bemoans the qualities of women and congratulates his butler (James T. Mack) on fending off a few, in Don’t Bet On Women, 1931, newly restored by TCM and the Museum of Modern Art.
