Should Ladies Behave
- December 1, 1933 (1933-12-01)
Should Ladies Behave is a 1933 American pre-Code comedy film directed by Harry Beaumont and written by Bella Spewack and Sam Spewack, adapted from the play "The Vinegar Tree" by Paul Osborn. The film stars Lionel Barrymore, Alice Brady, Conway Tearle, Katharine Alexander and Mary Carlisle. The film was released on December 1, 1933, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.[1][2]
The film is a wacky and enjoyable farce with a light-hearted take on being young and growing older while trying to make it all work out. A grouchy and anti-social mature man (Lionel Barrymore) and his younger and more carefree but miserable wife (Alice Brady) welcome her old friend for a reunion of types. Along for the ride is the naive but blossoming daughter who is anxious for love and worldliness. Her mother's snarky sister is there as well, along with her own expectations. Comedic and heartfelt moments arise as the stories unveil.
