Plot.
Based on a Pirandello play, Vittori De Sica plays a wealthy young social lion who has to constantly fight off a horde of women who are eager to marry him because of his position and money. He weds Elisa Cegani, a servant girl, who turns out to be a more appealing wife than any of the others could have been. Assis Noris decorates the screen well as one of the chasers and pursuers. In 1937, De Sica and Noris made a film, "II Signor Max," which, other than the setting and character role names, basically has the same plot as this film.

Wiki.
But It's Nothing Serious (Italian: Ma non è una cosa seria) is a 1936 Italian "white-telephones" romantic comedy film directed by Mario Camerini and starring Vittorio De Sica, Elisa Cegani and Assia Noris. It is based on a play by Luigi Pirandello. Two years later Camerini remade it as a German film The Man Who Couldn't Say No.
The film's sets were designed by the art director Gastone Medin. It was shot at the studios of Caesar Film in Rome.
