One Rainy Afternoon (1936)

Odd little comedy set in France, where apparently men think it's de rigeur to kiss strange women in darkened movie theatres. The morality squad has something to say about that! They persuade the victim to go to court, where the dude loses despite his impassioned speeches! The victim pays his fine and starts dating him: ugh! Boo. Almost worth watching for Hugh Herbert's adorable befuddledness as the kisser's best friend. Ida Lupino glows, but there's too much wrong with the plot for me to recommend this one.
