Never Say Die (1939 Elliott Nugent)

Funny story by Preston Sturges, then Hoped up by Don Hartman and Frank Butler, who went on to the Road films. Bob Hope thinks he has the digestion of a dog, so marries Martha Raye (I don't think we'd met before), much to the annoyance of various people, including Alan Mowbray, Andy Devine and Gayle Sondergaard. It takes place in Switzerland-on-Hollywood and features a bear, as well as Sig Ruman, and Ernest Cossart as the faithful butler.

A Paramount film, shot by Leo Tover, or somebody.
