Affairs of a Gentleman is a 1934 American Pre-Code drama film directed by Edwin L. Marin and written by Cyril Hume, Peter Ruric and Milton Krims, adapted from the play by Edith Ellis and Edward Ellis (actor).

The film stars Paul Lukas, Leila Hyams, Patricia Ellis, Phillip Reed, Onslow Stevens and Dorothy Burgess.

As his lovers compete over him, Gresham uses his love life as inspiration for a series of cynical novels.

The rest of the film explores the events which led to his death, covering the last twelve hours in Gresham's life.

[2] Gresham dies in New York City, while working on his latest novel, called Frailty.

There is a note with Gresham's signature nearby, which suggests that the novelist committed suicide.

Gail Melville attended the party to officially end her relationship with Gresham, before marrying her fiancé.

Gladys Durland had been Gresham's lover for two years, and attended the party to explain her plans to finally leave her husband.

[3] Fitzgerald wakes with a hangover and Gresham instructs her to get some proper sleep in his apartment.

Her husband has read Gresham's novel about her and recognized his wife in it, due to a "detailed description of her sexual idiosyncrasies".

The next arrival is Sinclair, eager to show her sketches to Fletcher and get an agreement about the illustration of Frailty.

Fitzgerald witnesses the scene and realizes that Gresham has fallen in love with another woman.

Fletcher informs his employer about Fanning's suicide in Paris, and accuses Gresham of having killed the woman.

Gresham and his female lovers spend much of the film exchanging "leaden-footed dialogue".

The other film was a negative depiction of big-game hunting, with a would-be sportsman killing wild animals for fun.

[2] Due to certain plot elements deemed objectionable by the Catholic Church, the film was publicly condemned as "immoral and indecent" in July 1934 by the National Legion of Decency.
