Overview

Linda works at an advertising agency, but, unlike the other women in the secretarial pool, she hopes to succeed in the business rather than just find a husband. She rises through the ranks, becoming a copywriter, and attracts the attention of Jimmy, an amorous coworker who wants to marry her. But Jimmy is jealous of Linda’s career and of Harry, a radio executive who works with Linda, and their marriage gets off to a very rough start.

Viewing Notes

I hope Humphrey Bogart started refusing these skeevy roles as his celebrity and popularity grew. Eesh his character is awful. Just gross ad executive.

Priscilla Lane Is super spunky and perfect for this role where she has to put up with terrible predator men, a lunkhead husband and catty women all trying to keep her down. Some shit never changes.
