We're in the Money is a 1935 film directed by Ray Enright.Ginger and Dixie (Joan Blondell and Glenda Farrell) are process servers who work for an addle-minded lawyer, Homer Bronson. Ginger and Dixie use their feminine charms and street smarts to finagle their way past gate-keepers and serve subpoenas to reluctant targets. Currently, Homer is representing a tart named Claire LeClaire in a breach-of-promise suit against a wealthy playboy, C. Richard Courtney. Ginger and Dixie are running around serving subpoenas to Courtney's friends, with the eventual goal of serving Courtney himself. They are under time pressure, as the breach-of-promise law in New York expires in two weeks. (In Real Life this was the era in which states began to repeal breach-of-promise laws.)Meanwhile, Ginger has fallen in love with a chauffeur named Carter, and they have gotten in the habit of meeting in the park for passionate necking. What Ginger doesn't know is that her Carter is actually C. Richard Courtney. | |
