A young John Wayne out of the saddle and in a light comedy and he does fine as a man called Dick Wallace with a penchant for a pretty face (or pretty legs as the pencil sharpening scene shows!)who encounters his match in a minister's granddaughter. There are some good lines (on being told to keep quiet by the butler when he comes home intoxicated in case he wakes up his father Wayne whispers he will "Let sleeping dads lie")and the film bobs along nicely.
Evalyn Knapp who plays the granddaughter is also very winning as the Private Secretary of the title who helps and soothes Dick Wallace's grumpy father. She is pretty and perky and very charming. Very nice ankles too. The other characters are hardly defined but there is a cheeky boy that one would have liked to have seen more of in the film. Not a classic comedy but sweet without being sugary.
