"She Learned About Sailors" is a bad film and the only reason to see it is, possibly, to see Alice Faye in one of her earliest movies. Apart from that...skip it!
Larry (Lew Ayres) and his two idiot friends have just arrived in Shanghai. They are sailors on shore leave and Larry the ladies man immediately goes into wolf mode when he sees Jean (Faye)...badgering and sexually harassing her until she agrees to go out with him. Despite this, the pair get along great and soon they are talking about marriage. However, later Larry realizes being a Navy wife is a lousy life and sends her a letter telling her it's off (a classy move, I know). However, the idiot friends decide to intervene and they intercept the letter and write one instead...and soon Jean is head over heels in love with Larry and is going to head to the States to be with him. Surprise, surprise, however, when she arrives and sees him with another woman! Soon the idiots get involved again and to try to take care of the problem, they do what idiots do...they lie even more.
This is a terrible story. It never makes sense, it's about as romantic as psoriasis and it is a shame as Ayres and Faye are good actors...but it's not apparently in this bilge.
