Monday, Feb. 29 - Gold Dust Gertie

Gold Dust Gertie (1931)

When the film begins, you see Gertie (Winnie Lightner) marrying and subsequently divorcing a couple guys. Now, years later, these two guys (played by the popular stage comics, Olsen and Johnson) have just married sisters and are anticipating great lives working for a swim suit company. However, the old guy in charge (Gillingwater) has no idea either was previously married and they are afraid to tell him because he's such a stiff moralistic old coot. However, hiding this prior marriage is a problem since the Gertie the gold-digger comes to work for the same company...and soon she has her sights set on the boss!
