Hands Across The Table (1935)
This is a really good screwball comedy, reviewed earlier this year at the blog Frankly My Dear (read the post here).
It's a love triangle story with Carole Lombard's character a hotel manicurist being pursued by both Fred MacMurray and one of her wealthy clients Ralph Bellamy. Bellamy is so persistent he deliberately sticks his hands in a flower pot's dirt only to have Carole clean them.
Marie Prevost plays Carole's best friend Nona; she's only in a few brief scenes, but she's really funny, as is William Demarest in another short role.
Directed by Mitchell Leisen. Very clever script with witty dialogue.
On DVD, part of the Carole Lombard Glamour Collection box set of 6 films.
