I'll Show You the Town

I'll Show You the Town is a 1925 American comedy film directed by Harry A. Pollard and written by Raymond L. Schrock and Harvey F. Thew.

The film stars Reginald Denny, Marian Nixon, Edward Kimball, Lilyan Tashman, Hayden Stevenson, and Cissy Fitzgerald.

[1][2][3] As described in a film magazine,[4] a bothersome neighbor (Stevenson) tries to palm his wife off on professor Alec Dupree (Denny), who has a reputation for being "safe and dependable," for an evening at the Hanging Gardens Cafe.

The Dean of Wyndham College, which was founded by an ancestor of Dupree, is distressed over the financial plight of the school, and goes to the young professor for aid.

Dupree is beguiled by a gay party in the next apartment into having a few drinks and meets the widow Clevenger (Fitzgerald), who is in conference with some charitable organizations.

Addressing her as Aggie, he drags her into the hall for a private chat, flatters her by calling her beautiful, and makes a date to show her the town in half an hour.
