Love, Honor, and Oh Baby! is a 1933 American pre-Code comedy film, starring Slim Summerville, ZaSu Pitts, and George Barbier. A group of stars rounds out the rest of the cast that includes Donald Meek, Lucille Gleason and Varree Teasdale.[1] Adapted from the stage play Oh, Promise Me[2] (which was also the film's working title) it is ”a situation comedy, carrying a romantic twist”[3]. The film did not do well nor was it well reviewed by The New York Times, which called it unfunny.[1]
The 1940 Universal Pictures film with the almost exact same title is not a remake.
