Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Man Wanted (1932) is a romantic comedy/drama starring Kay Francis, David Manners, and Una Merkel.Tom (Manners) finds a job as an assistant for a woman magazine editor, Lois (Francis). Although he’s hesitant about working under a woman, thinking that her gender might get in the way of taking her seriously (hello, 1932!), he soon finds himself liking the job, but also falling for her anyways. Lois, on the other hand, is happily married to husband but is put off by his lack of ambition.Things come to a head when Tom declares his feelings to Lois but she rejects him. He decides that it’s best to halfheartedly marry his fiancé, Ruth (Merkel), but Lois’ relationship with her husband disintegrates, creating an opportunity for the two lovers.Not to be confused with the Hong Kong drama of the same name.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Career Versus Man: Averted completely! Tom admires Lois’ work ethic and is happy for her to keep her job once they’re together.

Alcohol Hic: Tom and Andy get extremely drunk and exhibit this trope. They even let their bathroom overfill with water

Double Standard: Averted: Tom decides to treat Lois like he would a man, meaning like anyone else in superior position.

Clingy Jealous Girl: Ruth is relegated to this stock character who is dubious about Tom working for a woman who she believes to lack morals (for not being a stereotypical housewife).

Disposable Fiancé: Ruth. So much so that she can immediately trade Tom for Andy when she finds Tom working late with Lois.
