A Little Casual History: Beauty and the Boss (1932) was filmed in the San Fernando Valley from the Warner Bros. Studio along the Santa Monica Mountain --- on the other side of the HOLLYWOOD Sign. The 1930's were the time when "Movies" (From Silent to 'Talkies') meant "Hollywood" generically.

Still, Warner Bros. filmed north of the Hollywood Sign in the San Fernando Valley. Still, another piece of history was this film was released in 1932 after being shot on the sound stage a good five to 15 minutes by car-- before there were "Freeways"---from Burbank Airport (aka, Bob Hope Airport, etc.)

Two minutes into the film, the Viennese bank president's plane lands. That airport was "United Airport" then; Burbank Airport for decades to come.

"So what," comes to mind. This was a historical location for American Aviation. As his plane taxis on the tarmac, the camera capture the barren land and the landmark mountains behind, barren of the housing boom following World War II.

This is the airport were Amelia Earhart called her home base. Released in 1932, pictures and film exist of the first lady of aviation at the same Burbank Airport Beauty And The Boss did rare location shots. Earhart hangered her plane in the same time frame until her assumed death---July 2, 1937.

Lost in the multiple airport scenes, such as where The Church Mouse directed her Boss' lover to the wrong plane, there were tumbleweeds, no Interstate 5 "Golden State" Freeway. Millions of locals, visitors foreign and domestic have traveled over the last some 60 years.

Yet, the Earhart Electra sat in the "Burbank Airport" hanger before being lost some five years later. It is a metaphor how the minds of girls, mothers and grandmothers lost track of this famed Airport in a throwaway scene. A scene showing off in the distance Los Angeles Suburbs a desert locale, and the home base of one of America's greatest aviators.

At approx 41:00, Ollie's black gown goes from being open and undone, (where we see her undergarments) to suddenly closed and fastened tightly.

Fun competition for the boss...

Clearly a pun on "Beauty and the Beast".... this early talkie is so under-rated. It's just before the Hays code started being enforced, and the clever banter gets quite saucy. Warren William (from the Lone Wolf films) is the all-business, hardworking company president, who has no time for the flirtations of his secretaries, first Mary Doran, then Marian Marsh. It turns into a kind of competition between the two girls, after a confrontation. Doran is "Ollie", who uses her wit, wiles, and low-cut dresses to try to lure in the Baron. Susie (Marsh) tries to take the high road at first, but sees how easy it is to make men swoon with Ollie's naughty girlie ways. Charles Butterworth is here as the office manager, and has all the best lines. That dry, sarcastic wit, which he brought from his vaudeville days, usually muttered under his breath. He was only 36 in this film, but wow, he always looked old as dirt. Frederick Kerr is the Baron's sidekick, but doesn't really add much to the story. It's fun being an observer, to see who will "win" the prize. Story by Hungarian Ladislas Fodor, and the foreign currency and other words creep into the conversation. Directed by Roy Del Ruth, who had been around since the early days of silents, and successfully moved into talkies. This one is a lot of fun. Doesn't seem to have been shown often on TCM, with only 300 votes. Warner packed a lot into 66 minutes, and it moves right along. Recommended ! Catch it if you can.
