How to marry a millionaire
ulicknormanowen29 December 2021
A remake of his own "die private Sekretarine" , a version aimed at the French market ,Wilhelm Thiele filmed it with Marie Glory and Jean Murat,with the same screenplay .

A girl from the provinces comes to Paris , in order to find a wealthy husband ,this is a mushy predictable story , and also a musical,for it includes many songs ,most of which not very palatable to today's ears .

A girl is hired in a bank where men rules and where woman are relegated to the typewriter pool (a hundred of them are working in a huge room ); so as ton seduce her ,the handsome big boss pretends he is a modest clerk ;when she discovers the truth ,he puts her to the test.

The best scenes are the ones which feature Jules ,a dreamer who helps the heroine all along the way,even at his own expense ; the spoof on the social relations is the best moment .
