Cynical gold-digger Regi Allen (Carole Lombard) is a hotel manicurist. She befriends rich hotel guest Allen Macklyn (Ralph Bellamy). He's wheelchair bound and she doesn't consider him as marriage material. She does get a manicure appointment from weirdo Theodore Drew III (Fred MacMurray). Everybody assumes that he comes from money.
I actually thought that Allen would be the romantic lead, but he disappears during all of the middle. It actually doesn't make sense that Regi wouldn't go after him if she's a true gold-digger. Fred MacMurray is pretty fun. He's doing his wacky personality and is a good pairing with Carole Lombard. I do keep holding out for Allen until he shows up in the third act. He distracted me from fully enjoying this rom-com.
