Review of Big Business Girl

Minor spoiler.... Loretta Young started in the silents, and easily moved into the talkies with her looks and pleasant voice. Finally got her oscar in 1948 for farmer's daughter. The lovely and talented joan blondell had only been around about a year. Big business takes a while to get going. Claire (loretta young age 18! ) and johnny (frank albertson) are headed in different directions. She's off to nyc and he's off on a road tour with his band. When her career takes off, her love life does also. Will she have to choose between an office romance and her man johnny? It's pretty dated now, but it IS a great chance to see young and blondell so early in their careers. Story is okay. It wouldn't fly now. And there's confusion over their marital status... at the beginning, claire talks about how they've been "playing house", and since its pre code, i assumed that meant they weren't married, but later, we find out she really was. 25 minutes in, she tells the boss she has a boyfriend in paris. Did the wedding end up on the cutting room floor? Directed and produced by bill seiter. No oscar, but worked with some of the greats! Ginger rogers, george raft, lucy. Wheeler and woolsey in their best one, peach o reno.
