More Than A Secretary (1936)

Jean Arthur runs a secretarial school for young women. A bit of a matronly type, she gets discouraged that many of these women use her school to get a job so that they can snag a rich executive husband. She decides to work as a secretary herself for one of her more demanding customers, a publisher of a health magazine (George Brent). Of course she falls hopelessly in love with him.

Typical thirties romantic comedy, I still enjoyed it. Some nice bit-part characters include a totally dizzy blonde named Maizie (Dorothea Kent) and Lionel Stander (of "Hart To Hart" fame) as the boss' faithful (and more rational) assistant.
