Let Us Be Gay is a 1930 American Pre-Code romantic comedy-drama film produced and distributed by MGM. It was directed by Robert Z. Leonard and stars Norma Shearer. It was filmed concurrently with and based upon the 1929 play by Rachel Crothers starring Tallulah Bankhead, which ran for 128 performances at London's Lyric Theater.[1][2][3] Critics generally preferred Tallulah's rendition to Shearer's.
