Casanova Brown Overview:
Casanova Brown (1944) was a Comedy - Black-and-white Film directed by Sam Wood and produced by Gary Cooper and Nunnally Johnson.
SYNOPSIS
Mildly risque comedy for its time. Cooper is set to marry his sweetheart when he discovers that his ex-wife has delivered a baby and that he's the father! But when the ex decides to put the girl up for adoption, he kidnaps the baby and prepares to raise her himself. True love, of course, is rekindled. The situation must have appealed: it was filmed twice before (1930 and 1939) as Little Accident.
