One of the most remarkable unknown films I ever stumbled upon. The protagonist, a gentle, scrupulously honest accountant (Leslie Howard) remains in this character throughout the movie, heroically overcomes the venal studio owners, and wins the love of voluptuously cute Joan Blondel. The movie ends with their fingertips about to touch, their only physical contact throughout the film, with Joan's ending words, "I think we'll be very happy". There's more, including a triumphant communist studio workers uprising that takes over the studio. But this is just an esoteric lagniappe to complement the astounding performances of Blondel and (especially) Howard.
