Broadminded is a 1931 American Pre-Code comedy film directed by Mervyn LeRoy and starring Joe E. Brown.[1]

Plot

Brown plays Ossie, a New York City playboy sent to California to straighten himself out. He and his cousin, while driving west, pay too much attention to a sedan full of college girls and rear end a car driven by Pancho Arango (Bela Lugosi). The cousins make it to Hollywood where Brown falls in love with Lugosi's daughter.

Cast

Production

Filming took place in March, 1931.[2] The movie was made a few months after Lugosi's hit Dracula was released. Lugosi still used his stare in this film, this time with comedic effect, and looks like he was enjoying himself.

Preservation status

  • A print is preserved in the Library of Congress collection.[3]
