    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Gloria Swanson had never held down a customer service job, or any form of employment outside of acting, so she spent two days at Gimbel's Department Store in New York working as a sales clerk to prepare for her role as Tessie. While there, she managed to successfully remain disguised beneath a blonde wig. She got competitive enough to try and out-sell her co-workers, none of whom recognized her.

    A brilliant Swanson in a lightweight picture
    The actual story and direction merit more of a 7 out of 10 (the plot is more a series of vignettes than a structured plot), but Gloria Swanson's comic performance elevates the whole movie. Her peppy, irreverent characterization is just fantastic. If SADIE THOMPSON is Swanson's best dramatic performance, then MANHANDLED has her at the top of her comic game.
