Traveling Husbands is a 1931 American pre-Code drama film directed by Paul Sloane based on a screenplay by Humphrey Pearson.
The film stars Constance Cummings, Frank Albertson, Evelyn Brent, Dorothy Peterson and Hugh Herbert.
While waiting to see the owner of the store who is potentially a new big client, Barry Greene, a traveling salesman, practices his sales pitch on Ellen Wilson.
Angered by his daughter, when J.C. meets with Barry, he has no desire to listen to the salesman, and has him thrown out of the building.
After dinner, in an attempt to awe her, Ben takes Ellen on a whirlwind tour of Detroit nightspots.
The New York Daily Mirror called it "entertaining", and said it was a "... serious melodrama, though it is deftly spiked with comedy".
The Herald Tribune said the film "... moved smoothly and with considerable vigor and despite its faults, it is lively and engaging".
