Charming photographer Bill Shelby (David Niven) is attracted to bestselling author Dorinda Hatch the minute he walks through her front door to shoot her for the cover of a national magazine. Shocked to find such a young and beautiful female behind her cynical book about the "dangers" of men, Bill is not sure how to pursue her.Exhausting all of his masculine tricks to soften Dorinda's unromantic ways, he finally gives up and turns to another woman. The tables are turned for Dorinda when Bill discovers that jealousy is the secret to her affections.The list of David Niven's famous performances is impressive, including Wuthering Heights (1939), Stairway To Heaven (1946), The Prisoner Of Zenda (1937), Gunga Din (1939), Dodsworth (1936), Mutiny On The Bounty (1935) and many others. The Lady Says No is one of his lesser known films which also features Francis Bavier ("The Andy Griffith Show"'s much-loved Aunt Bee) as Dorinda's quietly domineering Aunt Alice.

a BIG AND LONG movie

Don't you dare believe the low star reviews!! This is an excellent movie, although somewhat outdated. It seems to be a template for many man hating movies to come. Niven and Caulfield are great comedy actors, and work well together. You won't find anything this good nowadays!! Get it!

Classic Romantic Comedy!!!

I thought this was a really good love story! Joan Caulfield and David Niven were awesome and perfect together! A woman named Dorinda Hatch writes a book about her hatred toward men. A photographer named Bill Shelby meets to do a story on her, and he automatically falls in love with her, but the feeling isn't mutual for Dorinda. She embarasses him in front of other women by showing what would happen if a man whistles to her. After she makes a fool of him, she starts to feel sorry for him and slowly falls in love with him. Her book ruins the marriage of a couple, so Dorinda tries to help make it right. She eventually regrets that she ever wrote the book, and shows the love. If you love classic romantic comedies, you'll love THE LADY SAYS NO!!!

FEMINIST AUTHOR LEARNS SOME NEW TRICKS.

Producer Frank Ross makes his only effort at directing with this feathery comedy, a vanity piece for his wife Joan Caulfield, wherein the lovely and customarily demure actress displays a widened working range disparate from her normal personae, playing here as Dorinda Hatch, feminist author of an anti-male best-seller who becomes unsettled when a rakish photographer for Life Magazine, Bill Shelby (David Niven), attempts to woo her through a sly method of blackmail. During a picture taking session for the periodical Dorinda does some mugging designed to put the impudent Shelby in his place, but the latter turns the tables on her by using a daft face made by the writer as the proof for an upcoming Life cover, refusing to give the negative to her unless she allows him to kiss her, an act leading to romantic complications that raise doubts as to the sincerity of Dorinda's feminist beliefs. The work has a simple storyline, with some fatuous scenes of slapstick, but roles are well-performed by all members of the cast, despite a great deal of predictability in the dialogue, Caulfield earning the acting laurels as she and Niven luff toward each other in romantic folly, and there are skillful turns from Henry Jones and Lenore Lonergan as a comedic still in love, although not without conflict. The action moves briskly with nary a break and producer/director Ross has assembled top-tier technicians to showcase Caulfield, among them James Wong Howe, cinematographer and Orry-Kelly, costumer, in addition to production designer Perry Ferguson, and a terrific score is contributed by Arthur Lange to cap off this pleasant and humourous soufflé.
