Beauty and the Boss is a 1932 American pre-Code romantic comedy film directed by Roy Del Ruth and starring Marian Marsh, David Manners and Warren William. [1] It was based on the 1927 Hungarian play A templom egere by Ladislas Fodor about a secretary who eventually marries her boss. An English language adaptation of the play by Benn Levy, entitled A Church Mouse, opened in London in early May 1931. Another English language adaptation by Frederic and Fanny Hatton, also called A Church Mouse, opened in New York on October 12, 1931. [2]
In 1934, Warner Brothers' British subsidiary remade the story at Teddington Studios as The Church Mouse .
The film's sets were designed by Anton Grot.
An executive hires a mousy, plain woman as his secretary so she will not distract him from his work, but she becomes determined to win his heart.
