| In the film that fueled her legendary career, Jean Harlow (The Public Enemy) stars in this romantic comedy directed by Academy Award ® winner Frank Capra (Best Director, It Happened One Night, 1934). Written to showcase Harlowâs talent, looks and charm, PLATINUM BL ONDE is a glorious spoof of the newspaper business in New York City during the Depression. Ann Schuyler (Harlow), a wealthy socialit e, meets reporter Stew Smith (Robert Williams, Devotion) and the two fall madly in love. The comedy begins as she tries to transform him from a ruffian newsman into a convincing gentleman. âStew,â who is quick with wisecracks, is slow to realize the dangers of bei ng a kept man. At first, he likes the idle life of the rich, but thereâs trouble in paradise. Soon this âCinderella Manâ turns the s ocial register upside down with his mocking repartee. To his rescue is Gallagher (Loretta Young, The Stranger), a sympathetic friend and co-worker at the newspaper. She comforts and consoles Stew and, in classic Capra style, helps him right into her own arms. |
