Csak növel ne!

At his friend Harcourt’s bachelor party, misogynist Dodd Austin recounts how a loaned ring led to his wrongful arrest, only to be immediately robbed by two masked women - reinforcing his vow, “Never trust a woman!” Weeks later, when bandits abduct him in the countryside, he’s rescued by the humble Helen Rye, who turns out to be a celebrated actress; her sudden reappearance (and a magician’s sleight of hand) restores his lost ring and his faith in love as they marry, proving he’s broken his own curse.

Directed by Béla Gaál, Csak növel ne! leans on a strong ensemble — Olly Szokolay, Ferenc Táray, Dolly Thain — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1924.
