More Than a Secretary - 1936 ****

 
A nice bit of fluff from Jean Arthur and George Brent, a film that you can just let wash over you without much need for thinking.
Carol is a beautiful, brainy teacher at a typing school. Uninterested in finding love or trying to start a relationship, she is mortified when Maisie, the worst typist in her class accuses her of being a dried up old maid. Prompted to make a change, Carol quits and goes to work as a secretary for a hunky editor of a health magazine. What starts as a dream scenario descends into a nightmare after Carol is promoted, and Maisie is roped in as the new secretary.
Enjoyable.
