HIS PRIVATE SECRETARY(1933)
John Wayne in an early film, and it's a comedy!
He plays a playboy and his father is fed up with
his running around all the time. He gives him a
job in his business as a collector! He, of course,
straightens right up and becomes a great business
man - NOT!!! Soon he winds up with a girl that
is the daughter of a minister that he's supposed
to collect from and she winds up as his secretary! C+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
This would be worth watching if for no other
reason than to watch John Wayne in a romantic
comedy, and it's a decent movie in its own right.
While its not as funny or as moving as the best
films of this type, the story is good and is
usually at least mildly amusing.
Wayne plays the carefree son of a rich man.
His Father disapproves of him and his lifestyle,
and after giving him one last chance, rejects
him and the woman he has married (Evalyn Knapp).
His wife decides to take matters into her own
hands, with a creative scheme intended to bring
the cold-hearted father to his senses. It's a
fairly interesting scenario, and most of the
possibilities are realized. The acting is
generally good, and Wayne does well in a role
much different from those he would later become
famous for.
Wayne's fans should enjoy seeing how he performs
in this atypical role, and fans of old-fashioned
romantic comedies should also find this worth
a look. - Snow Leopard
