Hook, Line and Sinker
Two fast-talking insurance salesmen meet Mary, who is running away from her wealthy mother, and they agree to help her run a hotel that she owns.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Hook, Line and Sinker is an acquired taste at 5.4/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.
Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.
A classic from 1930. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
