Manhattan Tower - 1932 ***

 
Who would know that the lives of a variety of office workers in a Manhattan office block would be so interesting? Mary and Jimmy are keen to get married, but unfortunately they don't have the money to do so, so Mary asks her dodgy, womanising boss what he thinks she should do. He suggests that she invest all her savings and give them to him to do so, without her knowing that he is paying off debts after losing his own and his wife's money on the stock market. At the same time, his wife wants a divorce to marry his best friend which he won't agree to unless she pays him to keep it away from the newspapers. It's a bit of a farcical situation, but I actually really enjoyed it, and thought Mary Brian was a little cutie.
