Plot Summary

Oscar “Odds” Owen (Warren William) runs a highly successful New York insurance business — with a rather unusual specialty. His firm insures young women against getting married. Business is booming until Colonel Jefferson Davis Youngblood (Guy Kibbee) hires Odds to insure his daughter Marilyn (Claire Dodd) against matrimony, convinced she’ll never find a suitable husband. The problem: Marilyn immediately falls for the charming theatrical attorney David Van Dusen (Errol Flynn), putting Odds’s entire operation at serious risk of an expensive payout. What follows is a rapid-fire comedy of misunderstandings, romantic entanglements, and increasingly desperate schemes, as Odds tries every trick in the book to prevent the very marriage his client’s daughter seems utterly determined to make. Director Robert Florey keeps the pace brisk and the wit sharp throughout this delightful screwball romp, packing more laughs per minute into 59 minutes than many comedies manage in twice the time.

Cast & Crew

Directed by Robert Florey, Don’t Bet on Blondes features Warren William in one of his most entertaining roles as the crafty gambler-turned-insurance man Odds Owen. Claire Dodd brings genuine charm and spark to the role of Marilyn Youngblood, while a youthful Errol Flynn makes a dashing and appealing romantic lead as David Van Dusen — appearing just months before Captain Blood made him a major star. Guy Kibbee provides reliable comic support as the blustering Colonel, with William Gargan, Hobart Cavanaugh, and Vince Barnett rounding out a very likable ensemble.
