I've only seen pieces of this one, but I don't know if I'd like a story where Thelma Todd is being mistreated by someone who's supposedly in love with her. Although I suppose that description might also fit some of her other movies. Actually I think the women are treated too badly treated in a lot of movies.

MORNING BULLETIN - May 5, 1934
"YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU"
Stanley Lupino, star of "Sleepiest Nights," will be seen at the Tivoli on Thursday in "You Made Me Love You." Stanley Lupino is a lovelorn husband, who becomes married lo a modern shrew (Thelma Todd). And then the fun begins in earnest.
By force, and a pair of handcuffs, he succeeds in "persuading" her to accompany him on the honeymoon, and lauds her in an out-of-the-way country "pub" with little food and no fire. He con- fronts her with a set of relations, Specially hired from a film agency, who number among their midst a half-wit and ex-convlct, and she retaliates by smashing up the home, which later, tn her dismay, she discovers is not her husband's at all. However, just when Stanley decides be has gone far enough, the fair maiden falls in love with Inn: and, of course, the rest of the story has nothing to do with filmgoers.
Thelma Todd is simply ravishing as the spoiled darling of rich parents, not only gracing the picture with her alluring presence, but giving it pep and furnishing the popular Lupino with a delightful foil for his priceless foolery.
Two merry, tuneful song numbers composed by Noel Jay and rendered as only Stanley Lupino could sing them further add lo the picture's entertainment delight!.
John Loder, James Carew, and Gerald Rawlinson support Stanley and Thelma, and Monty Banks, the director, also appears in the film in a brilliant comedy interlude with an old motor crock.
If Thelma Todd is frightened by this guy, why is it supposed to be funny?
The idea here is that this car is supposed to be archaic. Sort of like the old cars in Laurel and Hardy films that were always being destroyed.
They drive on the wrong side of the car in England.
Hopefully with more success.

Item from FILM WEEKLY
Thelma Todd was at that time married to Pat DiCicco, who unfortunately in real life mistreated her much as she sometimes was in the movies. After returning to the US she eventually divorced him.
