gold-digging rom-com
Christabel Sloane (Eleanor Parker) is a cash-strapped secretary at a law firm who would love nothing better than to marry a millionaire and forget all about her money troubles. The reluctant gold-digger is assigned to inform Peter Ulysses Lockwood (Fred MacMurray) that he has inherited $2 million. This is her chance, but he is marrying an heiress.
Most gold-diggers are a little annoying, but this is a cute way for her to get into it. The screwball situation is rather convoluted non-sense. I don't think that I can root for her quest even though Parker makes the character as appealing as possible. The basic gold-digging premise remains a problem for me. It's always been rather anti-romantic for me. Don't get me wrong. I'm not rooting for the original marriage either. I don't ship anybody in this situation.
