Step into the whimsical world of 1930s romantic comedies with Love on a Bet (1936), now meticulously restored and colorized in high definition. Directed by Leigh Jason and starring the charismatic Gene Raymond and Wendy Barrie, this delightful film combines humor, romance, and adventure into an unforgettable cinematic experience.

Michael MacCreigh (Gene Raymond), a struggling playwright, is desperate to finance his latest production. His wealthy Uncle Carlton (William Collier Sr.) offers him an outrageous wager: Michael must leave New York City without money or clothes and make it to Los Angeles within ten days—with $100, a new suit, and a new girl by his side—or quit the theater forever and join the family meatpacking business.

Dropped off in Central Park wearing only his undergarments, Michael embarks on his cross-country journey full of comedic twists and turns. Along the way, he encounters Paula Gilbert (Wendy Barrie), a spirited socialite traveling west with her Aunt Charlotte (Helen Broderick). Paula is engaged to another man for financial security but finds herself drawn to Michael’s charm and determination.

As Michael’s schemes to earn money lead to hilarious situations, the pair’s growing affection faces challenges when two escaped convicts rob them, and Paula discovers Michael’s bet. Can Michael win both the wager and Paula’s heart? With its heartwarming conclusion, Love on a Bet is a testament to love’s ability to overcome even the most absurd obstacles.
