Four's a Crowd

Four's a Crowd is a 1938 American screwball comedy film directed by Michael Curtiz, starring Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Rosalind Russell and Patric Knowles.

The picture was written by Casey Robinson and Sig Herzig from a story by Wallace Sullivan.

[3] William Dieterle was originally slated to direct the film,[2] and Edmund Goulding turned it down, before the studio assigned it to Michael Curtiz.

With the success of The Adventures of Robin Hood, Errol Flynn was concerned about being typecast as a swashbuckler, and convinced Warner Bros. to cast him in other types of films, specifically screwball comedies.

[3] However, Four's a Crowd was not a success at the box office, and encouraged Warner Bros. to keep Flynn in action roles.
