More Than a Secretary (1936)

The co-owner of a secretarial school Jean Arthur accidentally accepts a job offer from the editor of a fitness magazine George Brent. There’s not a whole lot to the story other than added friction by way of a friend of Brent’s needing George to take on his secretary/mistress so as to not arouse his wife’s suspicion, but it’s nice seeing Arthur not only showing her capability, but being promoted for it. There are a few annoying bits regarding the fitness aspect (vegetarianism treated with distain, push for sexy females on the magazine cover instead of well-built men) which unfortunate distract during such a short film.   Romance
