    • Trivia
      Marion Davies's last movie.
    • Goofs
      The scene in which Freddy is watching Marge remove her 'Sadie' wig to reveal her fluffy blond hair involves a well-done substitution splice, presumably because to get the Sadie wig to fit realistically, Marion Davis' real hair would have been tightly slicked or tied down.
    • Quotes

      President of the Purity League: Mr. Mason? Miss Winton? What on earth? What's going on

      Marge Winton: Oh, just the usual office routine. Mr. Mason was giving me dictation. But, he was a little too fast!

      Purity League Manager: Miss Winton choose to misunderstand purely a friendly gesture.

      President of the Purity League: Miss Winton this is disgraceful! I'm sure Mr. Mason meant no harm.

    A secretary in disguise

    Marion Davies is Marge, a secretary who has trouble with unwelcome advances from her bosses. One day she hears of a job working for a publisher who only hires plain secretaries. So Marge gets a makeover and is plain enough to get the job. The lady publisher who employs her doesn't want her male writers distracted by pretty secretaries. So Marge is sent to work for writer Freddy Matthews (Robert Montgomery) and keep his mind on his job. Naturally this leads to a lot of complications. Marion Davies is very funny as Marge, and so is Patsy Kelly as Marge's down-to-earth friend Sadie. Robert Montgomery is delightful as always. I love this film, it's so funny, a pity it's not better known.
