She's Got Everything

Ann Sothern plays an heiress who returns from a European trip to discover that her wealthy father has died and left her with enormous debts. She's determined to get a job to pay them off, and through a series of somewhat contrived circumstances winds up working as a secretary for coffee magnate Gene Raymond. The script is predictable-- you KNOW they're going to wind up together after a series of misunderstandings separates them--and Raymond, as another reviewer has noted, is as stiff as a board, but the supporting cast, especially Billy Gilbert and Victor Moore, is good. It's Sothern's show, however, and she's more than up to it. She's funny, perky, sexy and has great comic timing, which Raymond utterly lacks (she tries to connect with him, but despite her best efforts there's no chemistry there whatsoever). All in all, it's an inconsequential comedy that owes whatever success it may have had to the extraordinary talents of Ann Sothern. It's worth a watch for that, but not much else.

This film has a fine supporting cast,with the likes of Helen Broderick,Victore Moore,and Billy Gilbert.Unfortunately it does not have a good script.Furthermore there is very little chemistry between the two leads.Ann Sothern is as bubbly as ever whilst Gene Raymond performs his usual impression of an oak wood.He is stiff and bland and quite frankly a total waste of time when it comes to comedy.Furthermore this film has a number of ideas which might have seemed fine on paper but on the screen leave one feeling quite numb.So i would be bound to say that this is a waste of the considerable talent involved.So quite frankly you would be better off giving this a miss.
