Cradle Snatchers (1927)
Cradle Snatchers is a 1927 comedy movie directed by Howard Hawks, with a running time of 59m. It stars Louise Fazenda, J. Farrell MacDonald and Ethel Wales.
To cure their flirtatious husbands of consorting with flappers, three wives-- Susan Martin, Ethel Drake, and Kitty Ladd-- arrange with three college boys-- Henry Winton, Oscar, and Joe Valley-- to flirt with them at a house party. Joe Valley, who poses as a hot-blooded Spaniard, is vamped by Ginsberg in female attire, and Oscar, a bashful Swede, uses caveman methods when aroused. During a rehearsal of the party, the three husbands arrive, followed by their flapper friends, leading to comic complications.
