Charles Martin directs this charming and entertaining, but trivial comedy. The all-star cast is the redemption of MY DEAR SECRETARY. Best-selling novelist Owen Waterbury(Kirk Douglas)proves himself to be a die-hard skirt-chaser. When an aspiring novelist Stephanie Gaylord(Laraine Day)becomes his secretary, he decides to give up squiring the ladies and puts all of his attention toward her. No sooner than they marry, Stephanie finds out that Owen's new secretary is not only intelligent, but very beautiful as well. Let the fun begin. Evocative of the 40's, this movie is pretty straight-laced. At times Douglas seems too earnest to be so tempted by women. Day exudes natural beauty. Rounding out the cast: Keenan Wynn, Rudy Vallee and Irene Ryan.
