The Great Flirtation is a 1934 American pre-Code comedy drama film directed by Ralph Murphy and starring Elissa Landi, Adolphe Menjou, David Manners and Lynne Overman.

In Budapest Stephan Karpath is an egotistical but celebrated stage actor, whose lover Zita Marishka is an aspiring actress.

His wife hits on the idea of passing herself off as a famous, but unmarried, Russian actress and is cast in the lead of a Broadway play.

She manages to get Stephan work playing opposite her, but to his chagrin she is pursued romantically by several men including the producer and the playwright Larry Kenyon.

When it dawns on Stephan that she really loves Larry, in whose work she has become a great actress, he pretends to return to Budapest but really goes to North Dakota.
