Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Devil and Miss Jones is a 1941 Romantic Screwball Comedy from The Golden Age of Hollywood, directed by Sam Wood.A multi-millionaire tycoon, John P. Merrick, (Charles Coburn) owns a bothersome department store where employees are raising hell for unionization. Realizing he’s the only one that can stop them after interviewing a so-so detective, he goes undercover as Thomas Higgins: a lowly store clerk who the store higher-ups know is there to spot the rebellious workers.Awful at being a clerk, he gets help from and befriends Mary Jones (Jean Arthur) who thinks he’s a poor old man down on his luck. Her best friend, Elizabeth (Spring Byington), who also works at the department store, becomes enamoured with Higgins, because she thinks he’s a poor helpless man. John believes them to be fine, upright women… until he finds out that they’re part of the rebelling unionizers. Mary’s boyfriend, Joe O’Brien (Robert Cummings), the leader of the rebelling workers, invites Higgins to their meeting where, to John’s surprise, he’s held as a prime example of the people these workers are trying to help.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })John tries to hold them in contempt, but the more he gets to know them, the more he agrees with their ambitious plans for his department store.Under absolutely no circumstances should you confuse this film with the 1973 pornographic film The Devil in Miss Jones. Trust us. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: The writer, director, and producer decided it was necessary to put this title card in the beginning of the film: “Dear Richest Men in the World: We made up this character in this story, out of our own heads. It’s nobody, really. The whole thing is make-believe. We’d feel awful if anybody was offended. Thank you, The Author, Director, and Producer. P.S. Nobody Sue.” And then this appears: “P.P.S. PLEASE”. | |
