(Sam Wood, US 1941, 92 min., 35mm)

Looking to bust up union activity at his department store, wealthy tycoon J.P. Merrick (Charles Coburn) goes undercover as a shoe salesman in order to identify the organizers. Soon though, he’s caught up in the lives of his employees, including union ringleader Mary Jones (the delightful Jean Arthur), and Merrick forgets his original purpose…until his two identities collide. This hilarious farce will be shown in a recently restored 35mm print courtesy of the UCLA Film & Television Archive.
