Lady Be Careful(1936)
THEY JOINED THE NAVY TO SEE THE WORLD...BUT THEY NEVER EXPECTED ANYTHING LIKE THIS!
Lady Be Careful Synopsis
Previously filmed in 1930 as True to the Navy, Kenyon Nicholson's old stage farce Sailor Beware returned to the screen in 1936 as Lady Be Careful. The plot remains substantially the same, as an amorous sailor named Dynamite (Lew Ayres) bets his pals that he can "thaw" icy beauty-contest winner Billie (Mary Carlisle). What follows is a series of misunderstandings, arguments and reconciliations, all wrapped up in a happy-ever-after conclusion.
Lady Be Careful (1936) is a comedy, music and romance film directed by Theodore Reed, released on September 3, 1936 with a runtime of 1h 11m. It stars Lew Ayres, Mary Carlisle, Benny Baker and Buster Crabbe. Viewers rate it 5.5 out of 10 across 4 ratings.
