"Beauty and the Boss" is a 1932 film starring Warren William, Marian Marsh, and David Manners. Since it's precode, it's filled with innuendo. William plays a Viennese bank president who is easily distracted by his secretary, so distracted, in fact, that he fires her. Times were different, but maybe not - in 2013, a similar incident made national news, as one did in 2010.
As soon as his secretary has been dismissed, a young woman crashes into his office demanding a job. She's hungry and supporting her mother and her dog. Impressed with her steno skills, he hires her. She falls for him and quietly sabotages a few of his relationships.
This film was a big hit so Marsh and William were paired up again but with less success. Marian Marsh is of course adorable, and William is his usually cad-like self. Handsome David Manners, who plays his brother, is charming.
Cute comedy, not as brazen as "Baby Face" or other precodes, but fun just the same.
