Wife vs. Secretary
3 GREAT STARS IN THE PERFECT TRIANGLE!
Directed by Clarence Brown
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A witty 1930s romantic comedy built on marital suspicion and workplace tension, resolved through charm and reassurance rather than genuine conflict.
Linda, the wife of a publishing executive, suspects that her husband Van’s relationship with his attractive secretary Whitey is more than professional.
