Forgotten screwball comedy, like TRADING PLACES still funny after all these years!

Roland Young and Hugh Herbert make an amusing comedy team in this Universal classic `B' film. With humorous antics of the main characters your laughter will keep you chuckling along a well weaved wacky plot, which has Herbert as a cab driver and Young as a chalkboard operator on Wall Street.

Disowned by his wealthy family, Amos Bullerton (Young) ekes out a living as a chalk-board proprietor in a Wall Street brokerage. With the help of his erstwhile friend, cab-driver Angus McPherson (Herbert), Bullerton tries to smooth the path of romance for his daughter Jane (Nancy Kelly). Though engaged to snobbish Herbert Stanley (G. P. Huntley Jr.), Jane is really in love with Jimmy Nolan (Robert Cummings) who like Bullerton himself is on the outs with his well-to-do family. Given its Wall Street background, there's a stock-manipulation scheme at the heart of Young manages to straighten out his daughter's romances as well as prevent a gang of crooks from turning the stock market upside-down. Herbert plays a more straight-comedy role and dispenses with most of his usual slapstick antics. Private Affairs, which in its own way is as intricately funny as the Bull-and-Bear shenanigans in 1982's Trading Places.
