THE GIRL from MISSOURI unleashes Jean Harlow's comedic skills, not to outdo her natural attributes. When Harlow is in a scene, it is hers. She plays Eadie, a small town girl headed to the big city with her best friend Kitty(Patsy Kelly). She becomes a chorus girl with the intention of landing a man...not just any man, a millionaire. On one hand it seems she will do anything to get what she wants; on the other hand she doesn't want to stray far from her values. Thinking she has landed the wealthy T.R. Paige(Lionel Barrymore), who really doesn't want to take her seriously. T.R. Paige Jr.(Franchot Tone)is the one smitten by the blonde bombshell. Daddy Paige will do what he can to discourage his son from stooping down for the love of a flashy chorus girl. Fast moving comedy and yes, Miss Harlow really can be funny almost effortlessly. And no doubt she looks good coming as she does going. Also in the cast: Lewis Stone, Henry Kolker, Alan Mowbray and Clara Blandick,
