When's Your Birthday? is a 1937 American romantic comedy film directed by Harry Beaumont and starring Joe E. Brown.[1] While original prints of this film had a cartoon sequence in Technicolor directed by Bob Clampett and Leon Schlesinger, most surviving prints (including the Internet Archive) have the sequence in black-and-white.[2] The film's copyright was not renewed, and it is in the public domain.
Dustin Willoughby is a prizefighter and believer in astrology who only wins when the stars are in alignment.
