Why this pick
Like The Devil and Miss Jones, this is a warm, socially alert Jean Arthur comedy where crowded urban circumstances draw out generosity, romantic spark, and a gently corrective view of self-interest.
02
Why this pick
Jean Arthur again anchors a buoyant blend of romance, civic conscience, and mistaken-identity comedy, with moral seriousness softened by easygoing wit.
03
Why this pick
This screwball classic shares its comic class reversal and belief that privilege becomes more humane through direct contact with people it usually overlooks.
04
Why this pick
A nimble wartime comedy with the same polished old-Hollywood lightness: a resourceful heroine, playful deception, romantic complications, and warmth beneath the farce.
05
Why this pick
Its kindhearted heroine attempts to use a little social influence for good, delivering the same mixture of romantic fizz and sincere faith in everyday decency.

01 / THE STORY
Cantankerous tycoon John P. Merrick (Charles Coburn) goes undercover as a shoe clerk at his own New York City department store to identify agitators trying to form a union, after seeing a newspaper picture of his employees hanging him in effigy. He befriends fellow clerk Mary Jones (Jean Arthur) and her recently fired boyfriend Joe O'Brien (Robert Cummings), a labor union organizer. Through his firsthand experiences, he grows more sympathetic to the needs of his workers, while finding unexpected love with sweet-natured clerk Elizabeth Ellis (Spring Byington).
