The Naughty Flirt (1931)

A madcap heiress (Alice White) has too much money and too much time on her hands which usually ends up with her getting into trouble. But when a young law clerk (Paul Page) catches her eye, she attempts to reform. But a fortune hunting brother (Douglas Gilmore) and sister (Myrna Loy) conspire to break the romance up and have the penniless brother marry the heiress. Based on the story MAN CRAZY by Frederick Bowen and directed by Edward Cline (MY LITTLE CHICKADEE). Barely an hour long, this pre code romantic comedy starts flat and doesn't get any better as it goes along. None of the actors ignite the spark that might have turned the movie around despite its inane screenplay. The exception, no surprise, is Myrna Loy who doesn't have to sparkle but just cause trouble for everyone. This was during Loy's bad girl period before her comedic chops were sharpened at MGM. With Robert Agnew and George Irving.
