Kiss and Make-Up (1934)

 
KISS AND MAKE-UP  (1934)  ¢ ¢ 1/2
    D: Harlan Thompson
    Cary Grant, Helen Mack, Genevieve Tobin,
    Edward Everett Horton, Lucien Littlefield
The fast and the frivolous in a pre-Code comedy starring Cary Grant as a plastic surgeon who falls for one of his manufactured creations while ignoring the loyal secretary who thinks he's swell. Grant even has a musical number in this one, but Bing Crosby he's not. Helen Mack and Edward Everett Horton singing "Corned Beef and Cabbage" together are more fun. And speaking of pre-Code, look for the shot of Mack climbing out of the water onto Horton's boat, and see what you think of her swimsuit.
