ReportSynopsis
A group of academics have spent years shut up in a house working on the definitive encyclopedia. When one of them discovers that his entry on slang is hopelessly outdated, he ventures into the wide world to learn about the evolving language. Here he meets Sugarpuss O’Shea, a nightclub singer, who’s on top of all the slang—and, it just so happens, needs a place to stay.

No. A big heavy painting does fall right onto a man's head, and it stuns him, but he's not too badly hurt.

I voted no, but it's worth noting that the female lead kisses the male lead without consent, and he freaks out rather humorously, but in a way that strongly implies that he liked the kiss.

A major part of the plot involves a character pretending to be romantically interested in someone when they are in a relationship with someone else.
