This noticeably pre-code comedy has a great cast and really entertains. Warren William plays the Baron---a very successful Viennese businessman who is a devout womanizer. Recognizing his weakness for the fairer sex, he is committed to having a secretary who is not very attractive or flirty. On the other hand, his personal life is overflowing with sexy women vying for his attention.
Susie Sachs, a mousy young woman who really needs a job, wheedles her way into the Baron's secretarial position by being as efficient and selfless as an automaton and as undesirable as an adding machine. Played remarkably by Marian Marsh with rapid-fire delivery, Susie turns out to be a surprise. Her all-business façade might have emotional underpinnings after all.
The source material for this film is a play and the ending is play-like and delightful.
