Strictly Dishonorable is a 1931 American pre-Code romantic comedy film directed by John M. Stahl and starring Paul Lukas, Sidney Fox and Lewis Stone, George Meeker, and Sidney Toler. It was written by Gladys Lehman and based on Preston Sturges' 1929 hit Broadway play of the same name.[1] Strictly Dishonorable was Sturges' second play on Broadway, and his first to be filmed.
As a film made before the advent of the Production Code, the film-makers were able to preserve the cheerfully uninhibited sexual innuendo[2] of the Sturges play in their movie version, which he is said to have endorsed.[3]
