Bachelor’s Affairs

In this rediscovered pre-Code farce, “middle-aged playboy Andrew Hoyt, who had previously been a staunch bachelor, gets sucked into marrying a beautiful but vacuous young blonde. . . . Realizing pretty quickly that he is not up to the vigorous physical activity demanded by his eager twentysomething spouse, he conspires with his best friend and his loyal secretary to find a new plaything for the soon-to-be ex-wife. Adolphe Menjou plays the self-centered playboy with his tongue delightfully deep in his cheek [and] director Alfred Werker . . . keeps the action and dialogue going at lightning speed” (Jan-Christopher Horak)
