Joan Blondell was never cuter than she is this film. She plays the part of Jenny Swanson, a waitress working near well-to-do Brand College. Melvin Douglas is Professor Ronald Brooke, a teacher working at the college. It just happens that he is engaged to Silvia Brand, (her family owns the college). Jenny strikes up a friendship with the Professor as she waits on his table and tells him she someday intends to go to Paris. A trip paid for by swindling some young mans family. Of course the Professor is against this idea but before long he sees Jenny put her plan into action. Unfortunately at the eleventh hour Jenny finds she has a flutter. That being her conscience and she can't go through with her plan. The Professor helps Jenny to leave town. The only thing is that Jenny is now going to New York with her new acquaintance, Tom Brand the professor's soon to be brother in law. What I have described takes place in the first fifteen minutes of this film. The story mostly gets going after Jenny arrives in New York. Watch out for Walter Connolly as Olaf Brand. He really does a job scene stealing in this movie although Joan Blondell holds her own in her scenes with him. This is not a film that makes a statement accept to listen to your conscience. It is a light hearted funny little comedy with a great cast. This film is dated today but who cares it is just good clean fun.
