Friday, July 8 - Three Wise Girls

Three Wise Girls (1932)

Jean Harlow is a flashy, brassy-looking blond named Cassie making $15 a week in her home town and fighting off men. She's finally had it and moves to New York, where a friend helps her get a job as a model in a dress shop. There she meets a man, Jerry (Walter Byron), a man with money who takes her out and treats her well and respectfully. She falls for him. Then she finds out that he's married. Well, he is and he isn't. While her friend Gladys (Clarke) is in love with a married man and living off of him, Jerry and his wife aren't together. She's always telling him she has to approve of his new intended before she'll grant a divorce. So it's not quite the same thing. Cassie, however, doesn't stick around long enough to hear what he has to say and no matter what, she's distrustful enough of men that she won't believe him. She decides that perhaps she had better go back home.
