Three on a Honeymoon (1934 film)

Three on a Honeymoon is a 1934 American pre-Code comedy film directed by James Tinling, starring Sally Eilers and ZaSu Pitts. The plot revolves around a movie star, played by Eilers, who attempts to take a secret honeymoon, but is constantly thwarted by her overzealous and eccentric maid, portrayed by Pitts, and a persistent reporter. The film is a screwball comedy, relying on farcical situations and humorous dialogue to entertain the audience. While not considered a major classic, it's a representative example of the lighthearted comedies produced during the early 1930s. Key themes explored are the intrusion of the press on celebrity privacy, the challenges of maintaining a private life in the public eye, and the comedic complications arising from well-meaning but misguided interference. The film is considered a minor work within the filmographies of its director and stars, but it offers a glimpse into the popular entertainment of the era.
