One Rainy Afternoon

1936 romantic comedy by Rowland V. Lee, starring Francis Lederer and Ida Lupino, and featuring Hugh Herbert, Roland Young and Erik Rhodes.

On a rainy afternoon in Paris, debonair actor Philippe Martin goes to a darkened movie theatre for a romantic assignation with his married mistress, Yvonne, but sits in the wrong seat and kisses instead the lovely Monique Pelerin, daughter of a powerful publisher. Monique, who is engaged to powerful Count Alfredo Donstelli, makes a public accusation against Philippe, and the dowdy head of the Purity League (aka Women Without Men) exploits the heck out of the thing until it becomes a national scandal.
