Lonely Wives

Lonely Wives is a 1931 American comedy film directed by Russell Mack and produced by E.B. Derr for Pathé Exchange. Distributed by RKO Pictures after the merger of the two studios, it stars Edward Everett Horton, Esther Ralston, Laura La Plante, and Patsy Ruth Miller. The screenplay by Walter DeLeon is based upon a successful German vaudeville act called Tanzanwalt, penned by Pordes Milo, Walter Schütt, and Dr. Eric Urban. The German production was translated for the American stage by DeLeon and Mark Swan, under the same title as the film.
