Virginia Gilmore has been James Ellison's secretary for five years, and in love with him. Her fiance, Dan Duryea, is worried about her working for such a wolf. Ellison doesn't notice her, being too busy with other romantic contretemps. On the advice of grandmother Alma Kruger, she writes him love notes as a mysterious woman. Various comic complications, of course, ensue.
It's a Fox B movie directed by the dependable Ray McCarey, and while the gags are good, they never really hang together. Judging by the backdrops, Ellison's office is in the middle of the Central Park Sheep Meadow, and the sets are enormous; Ellison's office is immense, Miss Gilmore and Miss Kruger share an apartment that looks to be about 3000 square feet plus a balcony; and there's a rural hotel with corridors so wide you could float it and float a bloat of hippos through. Was this a deliberate gag?
The elegant Virginia Gilmore entered movies in 1939, but she never rose above B leads and A supports. Although she continued performing on the big and small screens through about 1970, her career seems to have been hampered by alcoholism. She died in 1986, aged 66.
