Honey is a 1930 American pre-Code comedy film directed by Wesley Ruggles and written by Herman J. Mankiewicz. It is based on the 1916 novel Come Out of the Kitchen! by Alice Duer Miller. The film stars Nancy Carroll, Harry Green, Lillian Roth, Richard "Skeets" Gallagher, Stanley Smith and Mitzi Green. The film was released on March 29, 1930, by Paramount Pictures.[1][2][3] Several Multiple-language versions were produced at the Joinville Studios in Paris including the French Chérie.

The film is chiefly remembered today for introducing the song "Sing, You Sinners", written by W. Franke Harling (music) and Sam Coslow (lyrics), performed by Roth along with Tess Gardelia and Mitzi Green. The number was re-created for the 1955 Roth biopic I'll Cry Tomorrow, starring Susan Hayward.
