When a friend falls ill, Mary impersonates her in order to take a job as secretary to an elderly socialite.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its humor from the classic premise of mistaken identity, relying on the escalating chaos that follows a simple deception. It explores the contrast between meticulous duty and charming recklessness with a light touch.

What lingers after the final reel is the warmth of its characters and the cheerful inevitability of each comedic turn. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Roy William Neill
