Personal Property (1937) Jean Harlow, Robert Taylor (digital)
Raymond Dabney has just met the woman of his dreams. How does he arrange to get close to her? Become her butler! That's the long-story-very-short of this convoluted (but worth it) tale of mixups and mirth. Rising romantic lead Robert Taylor portrays Raymond, co-starring opposite platinum bombshell Jean Harlow. The sparks fly, the romance glows, yet the two luminous stars would not team again: Harlow tragically died three months after this clever comedy's release. W.S. Van Dyke (MANHATTAN MELODRAMA, THE THIN MAN) directs, exploiting dramatic and cinematic possibilities to open up a tale previously filmed as THE MAN IN POSSESSION with Robert Montgomery and Charlotte Greenwood.
