"Why make one woman miserable?" (1929, 1937, 1943?)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

It's the classic statement for bachelorhood. Why make one woman miserable  
when you can make a hundred women happy?
...
Except in my case. Why make one woman miserable when you can make no woman  
miserable?
...
The line was widely heard in the 1960s. I remember it attached to Joe  Namath 
of the New York Jets.
...
It appears to have come from the movies. (I don't have the scripts before  
me.) THE LAST OF MRS. CHEYNEY was made in 1929 and again in 1937. HEAVEN CAN  
WAIT was made in 1943. It appears that both movies used the line, with HEAVEN  
CAN WAIT giving it the form that it popularly has.
