24 Jan 1939 • Comedy • 1h 35m
That's what's the title means ; the ladies in the film stick like leeches ,the actresses overplay to such an extent they are thoroughly unbearable and even the irresistible Betty stockwell cannot play her game well.Plot :a philanderer has so many lovers he's exhausted ;he longs for a well-ordered existence ,and the only way to get it is to marry;a notary -Henri Garat is not credible at all in this part-,he 's got a clerk who is to conclude his marriage contract in his office ; double-crossing his employee , the notary pinches the fiancée :marriage in sight.But all his lovers ,who were expecting a beautiful wedding too won't hear of it....It was first a musical ,but there are only two songs left in this stodgy brew : the principal actor was also a singer;Marguerite Moreno ,as the mother who wants to marry her daughter so as to retire in a nice place in the country provides the movie with its only funny moments,particularly when ,during the ceremony ,she answers "I will,I will" before the bride .Bomb.
