Lady Be Careful

"THEY JOINED THE NAVY TO SEE THE WORLD...BUT THEY NEVER EXPECTED ANYTHING LIKE THIS!"

Previously filmed in 1930 as True to the Navy, Kenyon Nicholson's old stage farce Sailor Beware returned to the screen in 1936 as Lady Be Careful. The plot remains substantially the same, as an amorous sailor named Dynamite (Lew Ayres) bets his pals that he can "thaw" icy beauty-contest winner Billie (Mary Carlisle). What follows is a series of misunderstandings, arguments and reconciliations, all wrapped up in a happy-ever-after conclusion.

Plot

Comedy and Romance amongst American sailors in a pre-WWII tale of antics during shore leave chasing high society ladies. It's a common tale where a confident sailor bets he can get the girl but inevitably falls in love with her.
