Strictly Dishonorable is a romantic comedy play written by Preston Sturges and first produced on Broadway in 1929.[1] It was adapted for the screen twice, first in 1931, then again in 1951. The play was Sturges' second Broadway production, and the first of his plays to be made into a film.[2] The Attic Theater Company revived the show at The Flea Theater in the summer of 2014.
