The Perfect Specimen is a 1937 American romantic comedy film directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Errol Flynn and Joan Blondell.

"[3] The film was Flynn's first comedy starring role and the movie always seems to have been considered a vehicle for him.

The two leading contenders were Olivia de Havilland and Joan Blondell;[7] it was thought the former was ideal if the role was played in a "romantic" way but the latter should be preferred it they wanted someone "pepful and sparkling".

Marie Wilson was meant to play a small role but was assigned to The Great Garrick instead.
