Easy to Love (1934 film)

Easy to Love is a 1934 American Pre-Code romantic comedy film starring Genevieve Tobin, Adolphe Menjou, Mary Astor, and Edward Everett Horton. This was William Keighley's solo directorial debut – he had co-directed two earlier films with Howard Bretherton. It contains a mildly risqué scene with Tobin discreetly naked in the bathtub. Keighley and Tobin married in 1938. The film is based upon the 1930 play As Good As New by Thompson Buchanan.
