Some funny antics are shown in this 1949 comedy with Lucille Ball and William Holden.
Ball immediately showed her comedic gifts as a dimwitted secretary hired by a bookie (Holden) to watch over the office.
Trouble is that she is the niece of a judge. Thinking that Holden is in real estate, she begins to bring prospective customers and builders to him. Frank McHugh and James Gleason co-star and do well as comic foils.
Some of the scenes are hilarious where Ball shows her "stupidity" and other happenings. Holden is young, adept at comedy but was chain smoking throughout the film.
This movie was a definite pre-test for Lucy Ricardo. Too bad Vivian Vance and Bill Frawley weren't in it as well.
