Don't Bet on Women. 1931. USA. Directed by William K. Howard. At a party, Herbert Drake bets $10,000 that confirmed bachelor Roger Fallon won’t have the inclination to kiss the next lady who enters the room. After a few comic missteps it turns out that Drake’s wife is the object of the bet. Does Fallon have the nerve to kiss another man’s wife? 70 min.

The screening is followed by a discussion with Anne Morra, Associate Curator, Department of Film.
