Movie Reviewed: Beauty and the boss (1932), starring Warren William and Marian Marsh
Beauty and the Beast
This is a formula comedy based on a Hungarian play by Ladisalu Fodor and Paul Frank about a Viennese businessman named Baron Josef von Ulrich and his office secretary. The Baron finds that all his secretaries are pretty and are distracting him during business hours, hence he hires a plain looking young woman as his office assistant (Marian Marsh). It soon turns out that she is not plain at all, but a gorgeous young woman, who is not only distracting him but testing his patience as to how long it will take for him to fall for her. This is a delightful comedy of trial and errors that ultimately makes the boss submit to the charming young lady. There are some humorous spark of words between the boss and beauty leading to a beautiful union. The film is directed by Roy Del Ruth and well supported by Charles Butterworth, David Manners, Mary Doran and Lillian Bond
