A Fool's Advice is a 1932 American pre-Code film directed by Ralph Ceder. The film is also known as His Honor the Mayor (American alternative title) and Meet the Mayor (American reissue title). It was produced by its star, Frank Fay, and released by Warner Bros. Pictures.[1]
A Fool's Advice was re-released as Meet the Mayor. Frank Fay had a terrible reputation in show business, owing to an exceptionally large ego and a history of abusing people verbally and physically. Warner Bros. declined to handle the reissue of A Fool's Advice, but did agree to refilm the title sequence. These new credits reflect the low regard Fay's professional colleagues had for him: his name appears in the smallest possible type as both star and author, with the supporting cast members' names more than twice the size of Fay's.
