Broadminded (film)

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

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.

Filming took place in March, 1931. 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.
