What happens

Maybe It's Love is a 1930 pre-Code American musical comedy film produced and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and directed by William A. Wellman. The movie stars Joan Bennett, Joe E. Brown and James Hall. The film is based on George Ade's 1904 play The College Widow and is a remake of Warner's own 1927 silent version of the story, which starred Dolores Costello. The play had also been filmed in 1915, starring Ethel Clayton. The film was retitled Eleven Men and a Girl when it began airing on American television in the 1950s, perhaps to avoid confusion with the 1935 film also titled Maybe It's Love.
