Monday, January 15 - Danger - Love at Work

Danger - Love at Work (1937)

Jack Haley plays Henry, an attorney who is charged with getting the eight members of the Pemberton finally to sign papers so that a hunt club can buy their farm property. He is actually taking over the job from another attorney whose nerves are shot and can't handle it any longer.

Henry has his work cut out for him, but he has help - the beautiful Pemberton daughter (Sothern). She is a half-step or so above the others - she's engaged but doesn't like her fiancé (Horton). She is, however, engaged to him because he is forceful. He's as whacky as the rest of them, interrogating Henry and sure he's out to cheat them.

One of her relatives (Maurice Cass) has given up on society and lives like a Neanderthal. Two aunts have a rifle in a setup on the front stairs to shoot criminals. Another relative (Carradine) paints everything in sight. The child in the family is a ten-year-old high school graduate and makes Henry miserable. There are more.
