Kiss and Make-Up

 

This was a cute precode with Cary Grant. Grant plays a beautician who turns Genevieve Tobin into an attractive but shallow girl. Her husband Edward Everett Horton says she isn't the person she used to be and dumps her. Cary Grant marries her only to react just the way that Horton did. Soon Cary Grant not only wants out of the marriage but his profession too. He wants to be with the "plain" (she really isn't) girl at his job Helen Mack but Horton wants that girl too. It turns out by the end that everyone is not what they seem. 

Play Girl

 

People are harsh on Kay Francis on the internet. Whenever there's a list of the ugliest old actresses, she's included. I think she looked all right but she had a lot of charisma, charm, and class. This movie was pretty fun. Kay Francis stars as a gold digger, and she takes a young girl Mildred Coles under her wing. The girl plays along as a gold digger, but her heart is set on a simple man she met earlier in the movie. When she finds out that he's really a rich rancher she's disappointed. I guess she wanted him to be different or something. It takes a while for things to be sorted out. I recommend this for Kay Francis fans.
