The Public Menace (1935)

Ship’s manicurist Jean Arthur can’t wait to get back to the United States, but her Greek citizenship prevents her from leaving ship. She coerces a newspaperman on board into a quickie marriage in exchange for a story for which she claims to have exclusive details. The details are a bit ridiculous with gangsters thrown in for good measure. Arthur is spunky and adorable as usual but she’s doing all the work here.
