Lady Be Careful (1936) DVD-R
Starring Lew Ayres, Mary Carlisle, Benny Baker, Buster Crabbe, Grant Withers
Directed by Theodore Reed
Print: black/white
Runtime: 72 min.
Genre: comedy
Print Quality: B
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. Part of the problem with this version of the Nicholson play is that neither Lew Ayres nor Mary Carlisle truly enliven their characters: far better within the framework are such supporting actors as Buster Crabbe and Benny Baker. Remade in 1942 as The Fleet's In.
