More Than A Secretary

For some reason, I find I can't take seriously the idea of George Brent as a leading man past, say, 1934. But I wonder why I haven't seen more of Dorothea Kent, who is brings a bright spark to the traditional "dumb blonde" role. (It's too bad the name "Maizie" seems to have been mostly forgotten after the 1940s.)

And Jean Arthur? I could just listen to her forever.
