Comment/Synopsis

When the owner of a paper company decides to retire a female employee pushes for the man she like to take over the company. When he becomes president of the company, she is his assistent and clearly the power and brains behind the company. She is secretly in love with him, despite his string of mistressess and a married man chasing after her. Mary Astor stands out for her performance and beauty above the rest of the cast in this good pre-code early talkie, that covers both office and sexual politics.
