She Had To Say Yes (1933)

A young secretary (Loretta Young) is coerced into going out on "dates" with out of town clients by her ambitious boyfriend (Regis Toomey). One of the clients (Lyle Talbot) is attracted to her but she rebuffs his advances until she finds out her boyfriend is cheating on her. She becomes romantically involved with the client only to find that when it comes to men ..... they're pretty much the same everywhere. Based on the short story CUSTOMER'S GIRL by John Francis Larkin and co-directed by Busby Berkeley and George Amy. This pre-code movie deals with sexual harassment before the phrase entered our national conscience. Both the men in Young's life "suggest" she help them get what they want from other businessmen but when she does, they turn on her for being a tramp! She's not of course (after all, she's the virtuous Loretta Young) but they think the worst of her without any conclusive evidence. The film has a "happy" ending although I would have booted the guy she ends up with out the door. Quite enjoyable. With Hugh Herbert and Winnie Lightner.
