The girl said no 1930 - One-scene Dressler saves the early talkie comedy

IMDB rating: 7,9

Director: Sam Wood
Main Cast: William Haines, Leila Hyams, Polly Moran, Marie Dressler

"1930. Silents were dead, talkies were king & it was William Haines' golden Hollywood year. His pictures - he starred in 3 - made enough money at the box-office to make him the top male movie star of that year. The girl said no is one of those films.
It is very much a typical Haines comedy, with lots of silliness based on his boyish character (although he was 30, he plays a college kid). His wealthy father dies, leaving his family penniless and Haines in need of finding money. The plot revolves around his attempts to make good in a new job, where he tries to impress Leila Hyams, the pretty secretary he meets there.
Also in the cast are Francis X. Bushman, Jr. as Haines' rival; Clara Blandick (Auntie Em in The Wizard of Oz 9 years later); and the ubiquitous Polly Moran. The inimitable & irrepressible Marie Dressler appears in only one scene, but it's a dandy. She plays a very rich potential client who mistakes Haines for her new doctor, which generates a hilarious slapstick sequence. With this one 10-minute segment, talkie comedy was off to a very good start."
