Girls About Town 1931 DVD - Kay Francis / Joel McCrea

In this risqué pre-Code comedy, gold-diggers Wanda Howard (Kay Francis) and Marie Bailey (Lilyan Tashman) seek out lonely businessmen at conventions, receiving lavish gifts from their wealthy admirers. When Wanda finds herself falling for the earnest but penniless Jim Baker (Joel McCrea), her priorities are put to the test. Meanwhile, copper king Benjamin Thomas (Eugene Pallette) showers Marie with jewelry, prompting his wife to respond not with jealousy, but by trying to emulate Marie’s style.
