The Richest Girl in the World (1934). 1h 16m | Approved

“u0026quot;The Richest Girl in the Worldu0026quot; is reclusive Miriam Hopkins (as Dorothy Hunter). She attracts men, but wonders if it is possible to find true love. After breaking off an engagement, Ms. Hopkins meets attractive Joel McCrea (Anthony u0026quot;Tonyu0026quot; Travers) in her regular guise, pretending to be pretty secretary Fay Wray (as Sylvia). Hopkins uses Ms. Wray to switch roles, so she can play pool rather than attend business meetings. When Mr. McCrea meets Hopkins, he is quite taken, but winds up on a canoe date with Wray, instead. Hopkins and Wrayu0026#39;s husband Reginald Denny (Phillip u0026quot;Philu0026quot; Lockwood) knock their boat over. Hopkins decides to test McCrea by encouraging him to pursue u0026quot;fakeu0026quot; heiress Wray. It sounds silly, but everyone manages to make it mildly engaging. Norman Krasnau0026#39;s script even received an u0026quot;Oscaru0026quot; nomination. Mentor Henry Stephenson (as Connors) and maid Beryl Mercer (as Marie) are also good.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e****** The Richest Girl in the World (9/21/34) William A.
