Lucille Ball was much more restrained in this 1941 comedy with Edmond O'Brien and George Murphy.
O'Brien appears so young and dashing in this film. He plays an upper class businessman who meets and finds love with secretary Ball. Murphy plays her sailor boyfriend. To me, the biggest question in the film was who would Murphy wind up with?
The comedy here is tedious. O'Brien has a snobbish girlfriend with a high society mother to the bargain.
Ball comes from a real common family where the brother finds opera tickets that belong to O'Brien. By the next scene, Ball is going to apply for a job where O'Brien is the owner. How coincidental can we get?
