What a Man is a 1930 American pre-Code romantic comedy film directed by George Crone and starring Reginald Denny, Miriam Seegar and Harvey Clark. It was an adaptation of the play They All Want Something by Courtenay Savage, which was itself based on a novel by E.J. Rath. A separate Spanish language version Thus Is Life was made at the same time.[1] The film was remade in 1938 as Merrily We Live. It is also known by the alternative title The Gentleman Chauffeur.[2]
